At the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival, I organized a real-time, twitter based reenactment of the attack on the Death Star, under the hashtag #SXStarWars.
For the 2010 conference, I’m kicking it up a notch, with an adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back, based on the screenplay. The entire story, with additional material from the radio play. 1 list, 64 accounts, about 1500 individual tweets.

You can follow the story at the SXStarWars/Empire Twitter List at http://twitter.com/sxstarwars/empire.
And if you’ve missed your favorite part, don’t give in to hate and aggression – once the script reaches the end, it will start over from the beginning.
