STAR WARS

EPISODE IV

A NEW HOPE

It is a period of civil war.
Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base,
have won their first victory
against the evil Galactic Empire.

During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal
secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon,
the DEATH STAR,
an armored space station with enough power
to destroy an entire planet.

Pursed by the Empire’s sinister agents,
Princess Leia races home aboard her starship,
custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...

STAR WARS

EPISODE V

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

It is a dark time for the Rebellion.
Although the Death Star has been destroyed,
Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from their hidden base
and pursued them across the galaxy.

Evading the Imperial Starfleet,
a group of freedom fighters led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth.

The evil lord Darth Vader,
obsessed with finding young Skywalker, has dispatched thousands of remote probe droids into the far reaches of space...

i think it seems like it could pass as authentic. its only that repeat line that makes me skeptical.

"Pursed by the Empire’s sinister agents"

now, it COULD be that GL did this to show how the 'good guys' in ep 3 became the same 'sinister agents' in ep4...could be

I cant find the one for ROTJ 🙁

Ok maybe it is long enough but it doesn't seem like Lucas would let that get out on the web.

LANDO FOR THE 10TH TIME

go back and read what I said. I NEVER said it was authentic. only that it was COOL!

ya got that now?

well I know that I read somewhere that Lucas said that the opening crawl for episode III will be based off of the clone wars cartoon but I've never watched the cartoon.

wish granted....for now 😛

that sounds cool JP , only thing that makes me doubt it is that that tool super retard (shadow as if you all didnt know 😛) has the same thing in his "official" script , but i guess by now he has probably found the real deal himself and just stolen it , as he does

i dont' think it will say "for 3 years" cause ..you know...there are no "years" in Star Wars..u know what i mean....oh wait...yes there are......
yoda says his age doesn't he....

but have they ever used "years" in the opening crawl? i am not sure

dont think so ..... could be wrong tho

Here ya go kids........the latest, validity is unclear

STAR WARS

EPISODE III

REVENGE OF THE SITH

It has been 3 long years, and the Clone Wars finally draw near an end. Misery and starvation stalk countless words.

As the final engagement of opposing forces eclipses, CHANCELLOR PALPATINE has been captured by Separatist Leader Count Dooku and the mysterious new Droid General GRIEVOUS above Coruscant.

Meanwhile, the Republic makes it final strike as ANAKIN SKYWALKER now a Jedi Knight and his former master General OBI WAN KENOBI lead a Jedi fleet against the Confederacy to rescue the Chancellor, end the conflict and restore justice and order to the Galaxy....

See, i don't like this, absolutely not. In ANH, Vader says to Obi-Wan:

"When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the Master."

THIS DOESN'T WORK!!!! If Anakin is no loner a Padawan "LEARNER" in ROTS, then that line from ANH DOES NOT WORK, PERIOD.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Why does he have to put so many plot holes into it??

cornponious

i think its fake.
something about the wording.
like "ANAKIN SKYWALKER now a Jedi Knight and his former master General OBI WAN KENOBI"... the opening crawn never really goes into character description, especially a description which is obvious, such as kenobi training anakin. also, the first line "It has been 3 long years" just seems off.

i like the first crawl way better. if it wasnt for the "sinister agents" part, i would have believed that was the one.
