Maybe we will zoom in on Luke, already mid-sentence, with the missing first words becoming an important mystery.
That would kill me.
Literally
That’s not how literally works.
In my selective reality it does.
“Ridiculous Wars” for the PT
There is no way (or reason) they do this.
I concur. The episodic films do follow a formula and they won’t break that.
I’d say that crawl feels pretty on point. I wonder what the space shot will entail as I also can’t see the crawl happening and then just going right into Rey and Luke.
Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.
I agree this would have somehow been a good idea…But after 7 movies with the same opening protocol, it would be weird to change it now.
Not change, just slightly adapt it to the current story’s mood, which I guess will be darker than the last one.
If it worked for Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith with their comparatively darker moods, I see no reason it wouldn’t work for The Last Jedi. I’ll go so far as to say having to change the music to fit a darker mood is a lazy way out in creating that mood.

Nope, in cinema you establish the mood through music. The tone and music should go hand-in-hand. It’s not a lazy technique and has existed since sound was used on films. Having a music that is in opposition with the mood of the picture will feel out of place. It will become more like an opera and less like cerebral cinema, which I think ‘Star Wars’ also has the capacity to be.
Again I say, do not mean to disrespect anyone here. Just sharing my opinion as a cinema lover.

Music is of course a part of it, but using it to beat me over the head with what I’m supposed to be feeling is lazy. Especially eight movies in, changing it just to set a different mood would be lazy, because it’s so easy to do. It wouldn’t take anything on the filmmaker’s part to set that mood, all they’d do is subvert audience expectations. Just look at the crawl of Empire (https://youtu.be/lGsAxG0r9wQ), it opens with the familiar score but then quite naturally transitions into something more sinister as the Star Destroyer sends its probes, all coming together to set the tone. They could have started with the music cues that go along with the Star Destroyer, but they were just as effectively able to transition into it.

Dare I say setting the crawl to more sinister, “darker” music would conflict with the mood and be out of place?

Star Wars will never be some art-house, experimental film, so I’m not sure what this is saying. You seem to be insinuating opera cannot be cerebral, which is silly to me, all you have to do is watch Amadeus. And if you’re also saying that in order to be cerebral cinema, music must fit what’s happening on-screen, I point you to A Clockwork Orange.

As am I, but nothing can be posted on this forum uncontested. All in fun.

WRONG!!!
I’ll just stick this ‘speculative’ article here - www.io9.gizmodo.com/what-the-hell-is-the-opening-crawl-for-the-last-jedi-go-1791628778
(However, I’ve no worries that the events of TFA can be ‘summarized’ in a reasonable way, before the scroll catches up to the present with Rey and Luke - in much the same way as the scroll for A NEW HOPE now retrospectively describes the events of ROGUE ONE, as well as the events currently unfolding)
STAR WARS
EPISODE VIII
THE LAST JEDI
Chaos has engulfed the galaxy. The destruction of the REPUBLIC leadership has allowed the dreaded FIRST ORDER to spread across the galaxy, as thousands of star systems are left to defend themselves against this growing threat.
Aiming to combat this evil, the brave RESISTANCE fighter Rey has traveled to contact Jedi Master LUKE SKYWALKER, the last hope against the agents of evil who seek to destroy him.
Driven to find Luke and end the Jedi once and for all, the dark lord Kylo Ren has arrived to a remote sanctuary in the frontiers of space, seeking to complete his training…

This one sounds official! I too hope that the film opens with a Kylo scene then cuts to Rey and Luke.

Other than Kylo not being a Sith Lord I love your crawl.
