Star Wars Screensaver Returns to My Desktop!

If you don't agree with me that this is the best screen saver ever, I will fight you--and legions of Star Wars nerds will be on my side. Okay, while I'm not that nuts, recent Star Wars Episode VII news has made me nostalgic for this old screensaver.

Computers come and computers go, but software on old 3.5 inch diskettes doesn't always make the move from 1994 computers to 2014 computers. But that's why there's Ebay, right?

Here are some screen shots of Jawas dismantling my desktop for scrap as part of the "Jawas" screen saver in Star Wars Screen Entertainment. The program includes other cool screensavers (listed for you over at the Wookieepedia here), but "Jawas" amuses me with its chaos. Not only do they scrap my desktop for parts, droids missing restraining bolts cause a bit of havoc. Banthas stomp onto the screen. Desert troopers double march firing blasters that blow "holes" in the desktop, womprats hop by, and--well I could go on listing the mess for at least another paragraph.

Share my nostalgia, won't you?
