Here's the crawl I wrote for my TPM rewrite. When I wrote it, I tried to keep to the brief, slightly hyperbolic style of the OT crawls; how well I succeeded at doing so I'll leave up to individual interpretation ;-)

EPISODE I - THE BEGINNING

It is a time of uncertainty, a time of war. The Galactic Republic is at war with an incomprehensible enemy. Law and order stand at a breaking point. Chaos reigns.

The nefarious Federation Neimoidia, a confederacy of mercenaries, has taken advantage of the universal strife. Having invaded the peaceful world of Nabu, they seek to depose the Royal Family and replace their benevolent rule with a bloodthirsty new regime.

In a race against time the King and Queen of Nabu hope to send their children to a place of safety among their allies the Gungans, to secure the continued existence of their government along with their royal bloodline.
