How did Google do that Star Wars easter egg?

By typing “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” into Google without the quotation marks, or clicking the link below, you’ll get a spectacular Star Wars surprise.

Note: It doesn’t seem to work in Firefox or IE.

https://www.google.com/search?q=a+long+time+ago+in+a+galaxy+far+far+away&oq=a+long&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l2j69i57j0l2j69i60.1433j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=91&ie=UTF-8

I think this Star Wars Google Easter is their best one yet. I’d rank it right above What’s your Kevin Bacon Number and the Do the Barrel roll easter eggs.

Now I just need someone to tell me how they coded it.

WebGL perhaps. @FatherMerry should expatiate.
