   i know the star wars opening crawl is iconic but it's probably the worst way to start a movie

     @shpuld do you think it would have been too hard to follow without it? It's easy to see who the good and bad guys are.

     @lain just really wanted to create the context before starting with fast action that follows multiple characters

     @lain yeah movies should start with a 5 minute overture to black screen, then the full credits scroll, then an opening crawl

     @lain imagine the audience having to read shit from the screen. like he had Alec Guiness to read it, but nooo

     @lain hard to say, maybe in the 70s they thought it'd be too chaotic. then again they might have been able to cut it or shorten it considering how well the action amd flow is directed, but they probably didn't know how it'd turn out during production

     @lain It's the perfect example of "show, don't tell". And boy, it sure shows a lot.
