The problem I feel… is that if the Resistance being born out of the New Republic stalling on action against the First Order ISN’T included in the crawl, that just leads to confusion and questions as to why it isn’t just the New Republic that is searching for the map.
The original crawl states how Leia is desperate to find Luke and leads the Resistance. I feel like something is missing without that context leading into the movie.
That being said, I looked at the crawl again from V1.1 and made a few small tweaks, this should hopefully be my final crawl I ever write for TFA HAHA:
EPISODE VII
THE FORCE AWAKENSIt is a time of despair.
Luke Skywalker, sworn
to reforge the legendary
Jedi Order, has vanished.Emboldened by the Jedi’s
absence, soldiers of the
evil FIRST ORDER have
risen from the shadows
of an Imperial fortress
to claim supremacy over
all star systems beyond
the fragile New Republic.Restless from endless
debate in the Senate,
several leaders have
secretly formed a brave
RESISTANCE, and have
tasked its pilots to
find the last Jedi and
restore peace and justice
to the darkening stars…
