Of course SW itself was highly revolutionary for the 70s in not having opening credits. So much so that the controversy eventually led GL to abandon the Director’s Guild after it fined Kershner over doing this in ESB!
The first instance I can recall of another film aping SW in this regard is the first Pirates of the Caribbean film. I could be wrong though. Still, that’s a nearly 25-year gap, which itself suggests how unusual SW’s opening once was.
I do like the presence of some sort of film-opening title or logo (aside from the production company logo, of course). It’s like the rising of a curtain as a play begins, or the opening shot of a storybook in a classic Disney film: it gets you in the proper mood for watching a movie unfold on screen.
