Watch ASCII Star Wars in Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8
Every one of us has
watched Star Wars on television, computer or in a theater. It is the
same movie with aliens fighting each other for galaxies and such
stuff. There is nothing new in it. But wait, have you watched an
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) version of
Star Wars and that too in Windows using telnet? A network
protocol known only to computer wizards. Well if you have not, then
you must do it now!
There is a complete copy of Star Wars done entirely in ASCII characters that you can watch in the Windows operating system (or any OS that supports telnet). The only thing required to watch it is an internet connection; speed does not matter.

the quotes and press Enter. Users of Mac OS X and Linux can directly
execute this code in the terminal window.
On Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista
Telnet is turned off by default in the latest versions of Windows. So, in order to watch star wars, you must first enable telnet by going to Control Panel › Programs › Turn Windows Feature On or Off and ticking both the telnet check boxes. After doing that, follow the steps given below:-
- Go to Start, Search in Windows Vista and Windows 7. On Windows 8, open the main Start page.
- Type telnet and press Enter.
- In the following command prompt window, type "o" without quotes and press Enter.
