The small touches in 'Star Wars' are just as important as anything else.
The Big Picture Over the last couple of years, Star Wars has brought back several of the franchise's classic elements while leaving others in the dust, but which one of these old-school touches does Ahsoka bring back? The opening crawl! How could it be Star Wars without it? First of all, you're right. Second of all, Star Wars has continued to use the opening crawl in recent years, but only in three movies.
The Origins of the Opening Crawl in 'Star Wars' When George Lucas was first starting to make a name for himself in the film industry, he had big plans. Lucas sought out the rights to Flash Gordon, an old space opera serial from the 1930s, but ultimately, his plans fell through. That didn't stop the filmmaker from still wanting to bring a sci-fi fantasy world to the big screen, but now he had to start from the ground up.
On the other hand, you have opening crawls like the one in The Phantom Menace, which reads a whole lot more like social studies homework. The taxation of trade routes, trade federations, the congress of the Republic, all really makes you say "Boy, I can't wait to watch this Star Wars movie!"...
Bringing the Opening Crawl Back for TV Shows Although I've been making the point that the movies benefit greatly from a crawl, using them in a show is an interesting choice. If you're using the crawl in every single episode, that feels a bit odd. Given that these episodes usually kick off right where the last episode ended, a crawl doesn't feel necessary to catch people up.
