One point of focus that’s probably worth mentioning here is that my intro text for episodes isn’t necessarily a Star Wars ‘opening crawl’. I’m deliberately using the term ‘intro text’ to make that distinction - as many of you have pointed out, we needn’t be beholden to convention. Whether or not Star Wars as a franchise had that concept, this show’s identity has introductory text (by necessity, since it gives more flexibility than keeping the narrator). Similarly, it’s distinct from the newsreel.
(Not that I’m disagreeing with any of the suggestions here.)
