Star Wars Empire Strikes Back animated gif by Folds Five |
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire
Strikes Back is 124 minutes long but, thanks to one artist, you
can
watch the entire movie as a two-minute long 8-bit animation.
The Empire
Strikes Back was released in US theaters on May 21, 1980. That’s
33-years-ago on this day. To celebrate we’re hosting this image.
The animated gif was actually first posted on Folds Five back in 2008. Since then, it hit Reddit,
and has taken the Internet by storm. You can watch it in it’s entirety
below.
You can also watch A New Hope and Return of the Jedi on their site too.
Happy Anniversary Star Wars
Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The Force is with you.

What was old is now new again with that simple style. It was the whole story though.
Would it be wrong to call it adorable? It was adorable.
*snicker* I'm with Jessica–adorable… and funny. Love it!
Happy birthday, Empire Strikes Back. You may now have that spare glove Michael Jackson was keeping for you all these years.
How cute!! Happy B-Day empire, my fave of the only true Star Wars movies thus far. 😉
I love the Commodore 64… it rocked just like this post!
I thought I might be the only one left that remembered it Jeremy. Thanks, but you rock.
There have only been three Melissa. Although Revenge could count as a half. 😉
I always wondered where that went Tony!
Not wrong at all Jessica.
The whole thing! At least the major ones.
That's cute and clever. I love the retro graphics.
Glad you liked it.. and thanks for the nice comment on my blog, Maurice! And thanks all for the lovely comments.
Thank you! That Collider interview really shows how much work you put into it.
