Okay, I’m trying to nail down the crawl right now. Don’t know who’s seen both cuts, but the crawl is somewhat different in each.
For reference, here’s the crawl in the first work print I sent out, which is maybe a bit too long:
The Clone Wars have ravaged the galaxy. The fragile Republic is crumbling, having conceded extreme executive powers to combat the attacks of the ruthless Separatist leader, Count Dooku.
Forced to wage war across the stars, the Jedi, once peaceful protectors, have left room for the droid army to sweep into the galactic capital and kidnap Chancellor Palpatine, head of the Republic Senate.
As the Separatist forces attempt to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor…
Here’s the one from the second one, which brings the word count down a good deal:
The Clone Wars have ravaged the galaxy. Its fragile Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Separatist leader, Count Dooku.
In a stunning move, the fiendish droid commander, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, head of the Galactic Senate.
As the Separatist forces attempt to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor, and bring the war one step closer to its end…
And here’s the crawl I’m feeling good about right now, which tries to marry the two somewhat:
The Clone Wars have ravaged the galaxy. The Jedi Order is spread thin, forced to combat the attacks of the ruthless Separatist leader, Count Dooku.
In a stunning move, the fiendish droid commander, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, head of the Galactic Senate.
As the Separatist forces attempt to flee with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor and bring the war one step closer to its end…
