Thanks for the word of approval.
This crawl does away with the problematic comment about on the “years vs. generations” thing that the prequels got into about the Jedi. EU material harmonized them, but I think it’d be better to not comment on it in the crawl.
I didn’t like how I used the word “planet” twice in the same sentence in the current crawl, but any synonyms felt odd.
This version touches on the heart of the political stagnation TPM tries to get at, and hints at the Sith coup being plotted. “It is a time of decay in the Republic,” comes from the rough draft of TPM.
