FWIW, I’d recommend the Rogue One style opening. ALTAIAGFFA card, then cut to an opening shot. I don’t imagine backstory or exposition via text would be any more useful for a movie adaptation than it was(n’t) for the original show.

This is the thinking I had too, you just summed it up much more succinctly. Even with the way it’s edited currently, I don’t think a crawl actually adds anything that can’t be picked up almost immediately through context as the story unfolds. It’s actually more engrossing that way.

(FWIW I don’t know that the most recent cut that makes the crawl “necessary” is itself, necessary. I think the previous version of the edit with all that stuff intact worked better)

Also, on a technical level: The title treatment with the Mandalorian logo as the meat in the Star Wars sandwich looks very off, and the font/text of the crawl itself isn’t right

+1

@Smudger, i think this solution worked So well in your TCW fanedits because the logo looked much more “Star Wars” (we basically received the same kind of logo in RO).

The Mandalorian one here seems a Little bit off to me.

In my opinion, the Best solution would be using a classic SW logo as in the movies, omit the Episode, and, since u dont want “the Mandalorian” in the title, Just use the title you came up with. It Will look like a classic SW movie. I have no idea how its done, but since you already did EVII version of opening crawl, I imagine it would be easy to Just remove Episode VII and leave it as an independent SW film.

Cant wait to See what you ll come up with 😉 Your TCW Episode I is still my head Canon version (and the only watchable one Id Say) of the 2008 TCW movie.
