Have you ever had the desire to watch Star Wars (episode IV, the first film released of the series) presented as ASCII characters, 13 high and 67 wide?  Good, because do I have a site for you!  Asciimation was started in July 1997 and continues to be developed, receiving its most recent update in April 2006.  It currently has 15953 frames which are encoded into 3413 displayable frames.  The player does a good job of rendering the frames into a playable movie, but don’t take my word for it; check it out for yourself.
