New crawl. I struggle to read the original, I have a type of dyslexia and the way it’s written is strange and confusing.

A NEW HOPE

It is a period of civil war.
Rebels have won their first
major victory against the
evil Galactic Empire; their
spies have managed to
steal secret plans to the
Empire’s ultimate weapon.

The DEATH STAR,
a massive armored space
station will have enough
power to destroy an entire
planet!

Pursued by the Empire,
Princess Leia races home
aboard her starship,
confident that these stolen
plans can save her people
and restore freedom to
the galaxy…

The new crawl is nice, but how is the original crawl weird?

it’s phrased weird. it uses uncommon words/terms and odd sentence structure, featuring callbacks and parallel descriptors. It’s like statements nested within statements, in reverse. I’m sensitive to it because of my learning disability. it takes me 3 times as long as most people to read this type of prose, whereas more standard types, I can read twice as fast as the average person.
