I think you can also just use telnet to see star wars:

Indeed, I came across this project while googling the idea! I figured out SSL would be a nice feature to have - surely you wouldn’t want your Star Wars ASCII stream to be tampered with, would you? ;)

To think that anyone on the wire could manipulate the stream so that Greedo shoots first... horrifying.

I'm very surprised to see this is still around! They must've had this up for decades.

When I discovered this as a youngling it totally opened my mind to the crazy possibilities of computers and the internet. Love to see it posted here after all these years!

This is still my goto diversion whenever I end up in an Apple Store - trying to get Star Wars going on as many computers as possible.

PRs welcome :) I guess for the curl version it's gonna be tough because you can't really interact with the stream that you receive. You should be able to do it with the telnet version, though
