Astrotoy7 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 *Oh, 'tis my 4000th post !* OK. Im sure there are many among us who are super spoilerised and this would be old news to them... Im posting this for the casual minor spoiler type of person(which is the most numerous as indicated by my poll!) Last week the opening scroll was revealed on the official SW site, in an article by John Knoll about creating the opening crawl effect for the SW movies here's the original article: http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/bts/production/f20050126/indexp2.html here's the crawl text for those interested. Sorta like the teaser, it is 90% predictable, but there are definitely some plot spoiler elements..... I would be interested to hear others comments on *this* alone. I am trying to be spoiler free, so I didnt really want to go to the Ep3 spoiler forum to track this down Opening Crawl : [align=center]EPISODE III REVENGE OF THE SITH War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate. As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor...[/align] so, what do y'all think ?? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Dravis Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Evil is everywhere.... ...fiendish droid leader... Sounds a little cheesy, but I suppose I can deal with it. EDIT: Sorry, my fault. Didn't think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 sorry samuel, I think you should attach spoiler tags there, theres a *very* strict spoiler policy in force..... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 ADD SPOILER TAGS IMMEDIATELY OR SUFFER THE FLUFFY PILLOW! I think it's perfect. Fits right in with how the rest of the crawls go, cheese and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_One Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Originally posted by Dave Grohl Argh. My crappy mouse has been acting up and it highlighted part of the spoiler . Its ok, I only know a little. Then why come into a thread clearly marked "spoilers"? Or was that your mouse playing up again? "Honest Mum, I wasn't looking at the porn - it was the mouse!" By the way, if this thread marks Astro's 4000th post, then it also marks my 1500th. And it only took me three years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Well, since the other thread magically disappeared, I figured I would post my little Opening Crawl here that I made in light of the recently released Opening Crawl text. Opening Crawl (Quicktime) Opening Crawl (Windows Media Player) Opening Crawl (MPEG-1) Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Originally posted by Boba Rhett It's on the official Star Wars site, Crow. Yes i know that, but it seems pretty weird. EDIT: Just saw the crawl video, seems that the chancellor is the emperor after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Originally posted by |GG|Crow_Nest . ...seems that the chancellor is the emperor after all. O for cripes sake Crow......that has *never* been a secret - from day 1, within the first 5 mins of TPM, he gets introduced as (senator) Palpatine.... you silly bird ! * * * Thanks for those links Andy.
