Star Wars’ iconic opening crawl was actually one of George Lucas’ last additions to the film, which he made for a very specific reason.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The opening crawl of Star Wars which has since become iconic was actually one of the last additions George Lucas made to the film, which he did for a very specific reason. Since the release of Star Wars in 1977, the opening crawl has featured in every theatrically-released, episodic film in the Skywalker Saga.
"It was, from the very start, the kind of preview you dream of. The titles came on: 'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...' This was not in the original shooting script." "George had added this card to prevent the film from being labeled science fiction. He thought of it as a space fantasy. He didn't want to hear about the impossibility of hearing sound in space or get caught up in any sterile arguments about what was scientifically possible."
