They recreate the teaser of Star Wars: The Last Jedi in an Apple II

Boredom is often the mother of many passions. When we are young and we have plenty of time, we can embark on tasks that more than one of us would find incomprehensible. But if we are also fanatics, in a good way, the devotion that we can show for any subject can become sick. At the end of this year the Star Wars: Episode VII The Last Jedi is released, the trailer of which was announced just over two months ago. US-based Indonesian illustrator Wahyu Ichwandardi has spent almost more than two months working on recreate the trailer for this new movie in the Star Wars saga on an Apple II, a model that hit the market more than 30 years ago.

Wahyu has used the KoalaPad digitizer and Dazzle Draw software for illustrations with which he has managed to create this small video complete with 288 images. These images had to manually move them onto 140 kb diskettes Double Density, he used 48 to be exact, to a MacBook Pro with which he put animate them and add sound effects. Surely the oldest of the place, this video will remind you of those phosphor monitors used in the 80s, monitors that quickly tired the eyes and fortunately quickly died out.

In the video above we show you the laborious process that has allowed Wahyu to carry out this titanic project, of which he has not published the number of hours that it must have taken him. Here is a video of the first official reader of the next Star Wars movie, a movie whose expected date of arrival in cinemas worldwide is December 15. This film will be the second in the Star Wars saga that has not been digested by George Lucas, who has been at the forefront of the first six.
