I can whip up a custom crawl for you if you’d like.
Really? That would be great!
I’ve decided I want to keep the original title of the film, and just make some minor alterations to your crawl accordingly, so it would be:
Episode I
THE PHANTOM MENACE
For a thousand years the
knights of the Jedi Order have
protected the Galactic Republic
Now, after a millennia of peace, sinister
forces conspire in the shadows of
the galaxy.
And then the rest can be identical to yours. I’ve elected to go for years instead of generations because I’d like to preserve the canon separation between the Old Republic and the Galactic Republic, since I’d generally like for this to be compatible with new canon material.
