It’s the platform that keeps on giving! Gary Whitta, writing on Twitter earlier this week, told us about the original crawl he’d written for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and that it had the same number of words as the crawl used in Star Wars: A New Hope.
I did write a crawl, and I remember thinking it was neat that it was the same number of words as the one in A New Hope. This was before the (correct) decision not to have opening crawls for the standalones. https://t.co/DuyTcAiCVl

He goes on to say that it was the correct decision not to have an opening crawl for the standalone films, for which we’d have to agree.
