The force is strong with this animated GIF, which captures the story of The Empire Strikes Back through pixel art.

The GIF, created by Folds Five, is one-third of the trilogy - part of PixelMash Theater, which animated other iconic films like Indiana Jones and Back to the Future.

Folds Five created PixelMash Theater a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away known as 2008.

You might recall a certain Mashable employee who had never seen Star Wars, but we assure you that she is not using these GIFs as a cheat sheet.
