Really like Crawl #1. Firmly believe that the first line of any good crawl for Rogue One should refer to the fact that the Jedi are gone, as that absence lingers over the entire film more than anything.
The more I think about it, the more I actually like Rogue One as Episode III, with AOTC and ROTS being repurposed as Episode I and Episode II, respectively. It’s definitely more pertinent to understanding the main story compared to TPM.
Am I the only one that likes the prologue scene? Krennic alone makes the whole thing awesome with his reactions to Lyra’s fake death.
I love the prologue scene, feel like it’s a powerful way to start. Only thing I would trim is some of the child acting, which isn’t always convincing.
If it is referencing Inglourious Basterds (which is in turn referencing TGBTU), I’d honestly consider just starting with Krennic arriving, only for the audience to gradually learn (as with Inglourious) that Lyra and the child are alive and Galen is lying.
