That's right, you can watch an ASCII version of the Star Wars Episode IV movie from your computer's command prompt window.
Simply open Command Prompt and run the command telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
The movie will start immediately. This isn't a terribly productive use of the command line, nor is it really a command line trick or any command, but it's certainly fun!
Note: if the telnet feature is not enabled on your system, the above command will not work. You can enable the feature from Control Panel / Programs and Features / Add or Remove Windows.
If you still don't want to enable Telnet to view the ASCII movie, you can watch it from your browser here.
