Should there be a crawl at the start of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story? That is the question some have been asking themselves about the upcoming blockbuster. Well, we finally have our answer and it is from the people behind the upcoming Star Wars movie – President of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy and director Gareth Edwards.
Kennedy: “You know, we’re in the midst of talking about it, but I don’t think these films will have an opening crawl. I think that’s what we kind of telegraphed at the beginning of the event today.”
Edwards: “The thing that inspired this movie was a crawl and what was written in that. And this is feeling like if we have a crawl, it might create another movie!”
It looks likely, therefore, that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and other standalone films won’t have an opening crawl. This will help to differentiate them from the saga films.
Not every Star Wars media has had a crawl. Most of the Star Wars games have crawls. However, that is to make them closer to the main films. The Clone Wars had a version of the crawl, but its opening was different for the type of media it was and it felt different from the movies. Star Wars Rebels, on the other hand, doesn’t have a crawl or even an intro.
