It’s rough but here’s a very nice video on how a Rogue One crawl could have looked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa-gaZLbeg0
There are a few interesting crawls in the Star Wars Fan Edit section on here - though this one stood out for me:-
http://www.space.ca/star-wars-rogue-one-crawl/ (with video of the crawl)…
ROGUE ONE
The Jedi are all but extinct, the
Republic has fallen and in their
wake, the Galactic Empire has
engulfed the far reaches of the
galaxy in fear.Persecuted members of the Old
Republic have been thrust into
hiding. Only members of the
REBEL ALLIANCE dare take a
stand against the ruthless
Imperial forces.Deep in the Outer Rim territories,
the dastardly Director Krennic
has discovered the location of a
long lost friend; one capable of
completing the Empire’s most
powerful weapon yet…
The more I read it the more I like it. For me the crawl fits the style and tone of the the OT crawls, as well as the Rogue One movie itself. It isn’t too long and doesn’t overburden the viewer with details or minutia, and ‘scans’ quite well too.
The 1st paragraph setting the outline of the Star Wars universe since the last film (chronologically Episode III),
It’s 2nd paragraph setting the current events - along with the acknowledgment of a fledgling Rebellion starting to fight back vs the oppressive Empire,
and the 3rd paragraph ‘setting the scene’, as it were, for the start of Rogue One itself…
all very well done 😃
I have always LOVED this crawl and have considered making a personal version of Rogue One with it as a crawl but I’m not exactly sure how I would remove the title card effectively.
I have no idea either mate 😃 Though I’d love to see this in a Fan Edit - or like you, just added to ‘my version’ of the film itself…
The genius lads in the SW Fan Edit section on here will likely know how - and be of any other assistance too…
(luckily the original title card is very quick - and the scene where young Jyn is waiting in the bunker, and then Saw arrives, could/should be quite easily seam into the her waking up in the Imperial Prison cell. There is a little overlapping of the film score with Saw’s voice though - when Saw tells young Jyn ‘my child… come, we have a long ride ahead of us…’ around 7m.30s in - to get around…)
