The equivalent of the scene that plays before the opening credits of a TV show. In the same vein as Willrow Hood’s post about post-credit scenes.
Reading R + L ≠ J theories
Idea: What if every movie had a pre-crawl scene?

That would defeat the purpose of the crawl, but I’ll play along.
After doing some thinking, that would only work for RotS, which would show the beginning of the Battle of Coruscant, and ANH, which would show maybe the beginning of the chase, as in Rogue One. All the others really can’t have much of an opening scene before it.
