2021:How to play star wars from the command line – linux/windows/macOS

acceptedhome

Introduction

Star wars, created by George Lukas, is an American multi-genre mythology which started in 1977 with an epinoumous 1977 film before growing very fast to become a world-wide pop-culture franchise.

Star wars stories revolve around the rebellion/resistance from good freedom fighters against an evil dictatorship from a galactic empire/first order depending on the era. Each episode begins with the following text “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….”

With the advancement in technology you can actually watch this epic movie in the command line. It used to be possible to watch star wars by just running the following command.
