I like this sort of edit. I've always meant to try out TMBTM's edit, though I haven't yet. Ryan, I know I've seen that older version of the opening crawl a hundred times, but I can't remember where one would find it. What's the source? Empire of Dreams?

It's from Jambe Davdar's inventive Star Wars Begins fan doc. I will be drawing on that for a few stray deleted shots. I will of course have to thank him/her.

Naturally anyone who can contribute ideas on this thread will get a credit.
