How is it an XP easter egg if you are telnetting out to another server? Just did a quick google and apparently there is some Star Wars ASCIImation shown.

This is neither an easter egg, nor new.

Does this thing cover the entire movie? I've been watching it for a good 10 minutes (it seems), and it just keeps going. Someone must have waaaaay too much time on their hands.

It must, I quit when the ewoks showed up. The idea is humorous, but two hours of animated text? Not so much.

Edit: Wow. You know you've really lost interest in star wars when you call something an "ewok", but it's not an ewok, but you don't really care anymore what it's called. eh.
