All thanks to George Lucas for making these great films.
The score for Episode 9's crawl sounds very...glorious? Like Mr. Williams knew it was going to be his last time writing that score so he wanted it to be special.....

Fun fact: For some unexplained reason the Prequels have the exact same version, in terms of how they sound. The other six movies are slightly different from each other, maybe due to different people playing the instruments or the way they got recorded.

For ep6 the depth added by that little slowdown of the trumpet for the beginning of the second verse is biblical at 7:43. “PapapaPAAAA!!!” Really makes it sound like a heavy war.

My Rankings: 1. Episode VI 2. Episode VII and VIII 3. Episode III 4. Episode IX 5. Episode I and II 6. Episode V 7. Episode IV For some reason the trumpet in Return of the Jedi feels magical to me, and the Force Awakens / Last Jedi feels very clean. I think Rise of Skywalker is too slow
I believe IX was the longest, at 1:33. II was the shortest, at 1:24.
1. The Phantom Menace : Settling the Conflict between Naboo and Trade Federation. 2. Attack of the Clones : Separatist Movement and prelude to Clone Wars. 3. Revenge of the Sith : Rise of the Empire and Jedi Demise. 4. A New Hope : Beginning of Rebellion and Death Star Plan. 5. The Empire Strikes Back : Luke Training Continues and the Truth about Vader. 6. Return of Jedi : Final Battle Against the Empire 7. The Force Awakens : First Order Absolution and the New Jedi Born. 8. The Last Jedi : Resistance desperation and Kylo Ren Rule. 9. The Rise of Skywalker : The end of War and Sith.

Attention everyone the Skywalker saga is returning to theaters for a 9 movie marathon on may the 4th
It's a shame they never made more than three Star Wars films.
Lucas in 1977: "during the battle, rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR." Lucas 39 years later: "R O G U E O N E"
I think we all agree that the opening crawl from episode 1-3 are the best in terms of epicness and depth :)
Gee, Is this themed to the *Star Wars Expanded Universe* ? I hope so because it’s been 7 years since I’ve seen “Star Wars: Episode 7- The Force Awakens” debut in theaters
My all time favorite is Episode lll!!!
Every Time When i Hear The Episode IV Variant of The Star Wars Theme, i Think of THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL!
For me the most famous opening crawl is AHN as it was the very first one and the only one without a sub title during it's inaugural release.
The dead speak!
If the movie is good or awful? Seeing the title crawl in a theater is worth the price of admission

Notice how episode 4 didn’t have a number originally? That was supposed to be the only Star Wars movie. But George Lucas kept it going by popular demand, and man, am I glad he did.
Don’t you just love how the opening crawls of 7 and 8 are basically identical? It’s almost like setting Last Jedi 5 seconds after Force Awakens was a really dumb idea.
I Can’t believe it was Dr.Huyang this whole time.
The London Symphony Orchestra did the first 6. And I guess the Disney Studio Orchestra did the last 3.
My favorite Opening Crawl is ROTJ

I, II, and III are the same, as are VII and VIII and the theatrical version of IX. The only unique ones are IV, V, and VI (the latter being my favorite).
Ok answer me this: In the first movie, Padme Amidala is a queen. In the second movie, it is stated that she abdicated the throne and became a senator. Monarchy and politics are not the same thing, but obviously, a former royal can run for politics. However, how could Leia be a princess if her mother abdicated the throne and her father, that is Anakin Skywalker, is not a king?

After you get old enough, you realize that alot of westerns and war films did this. There are a ridiculous amount of ideas Lucas drew upon to create a hodgepodge now recognizable as Srar Wars.

REVENGE OF THE SHILL Civil War! The franchise is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Ruin Johnson. There are journalists on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a STUNNING AND BRAVE move, the Fiendish movie director, JJ Abrams, has swept into the last movie of the franchise to save Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm. As the separatist fandom attempts to flee the besieged franchise of whatever is left, two directors lead a desperate mission to rescue the beloved franchise...
