Re: Hidden Star Wars Film In Win Xp

Clever.

I stopped it after a couple of mins - how long does it go on for?

Surely not the whole film?

Re: Hidden Star Wars Film In Win Xp

Given that it is nearly 2007, I would at least hve expected it to be in 1080p - is this indicative of the low bitrate we are to expect from Sky's broadcast??

Re: Hidden Star Wars Film In Win Xp

I've never seen it before! Thanks

I'm surprised George Lucas hasn't shut them down and demanded royalties.

Re: Hidden Star Wars Film In Win Xp

WOW, I've never seen that before. Its just a pity that there's no sound.

I still stopped it after 2 mins, but still by far the best Easter Egg I've ever seen.

It's not an Easter Egg - you have opened up a telnet connection - port 23 to this site towel.blinkenlights.nl

One thing you can say about George Lucas is that he encourages fan based stuff like this

Re: Hidden Star Wars Film In Win Xp

I know that they are not Easter Eggs, because Easter Eggs are made of chocolate and would be really hard to access.
