Great work Sparky! I think the crawls look really fantastic.
Thanks!
Nice work! The stars in the middle of the screen seem to flicker just before “THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK” comes into view, but that’s the only flaw I noticed.
Weird. I don’t know why that happened. I can redo it if you guys want, but I won’t be able to until tomorrow.
Not my shot to call, but there’s no way to make that scene good. Him screaming is better, but every edit I’ve ever seen where he screams sounded cheesy as hell. I recommend cutting it.

(ANH’s crawl taken from Harmy Respecialized, ESB and RotJ from Harmy Despecialized, TFA from the Blu-Rey)
I left the original audio in ANH, even though if it were up to me, I’d replace it. Video starts 6 frames before “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” comes in, and ends at the end of the first shot. Like HAL9000 suggested, the title comes in when the Episode number would have. However, my personal recommendation would be for the crawl to come in when the OOT SW crawl came in. I’ll make one like that if anyone wants.
All 4 crawls use the “A long time ago” text from Harmy’s ANH Respecialized, just for continuity reasons. If you’d rather a different one, it’s easy to replace.
Edit: Youtube took them down, reuploaded on Vimeo.
Did a full costume test fitting of the wampa today and it’s just not working. One disaster after another. Claustrophobia and heat are a huge factor in the problems. But also the head slipping, causing the mouth not to open. It would take stripping out the inner head and remaking it. Months worth of work. But i’ve spent too much time and money on it now and i really don’t think that spending the extra is worth it. It was a long shot that failed and I’m sorry. I really wanted to be able to do this. But there comes a time when you just have to stop. Maybe its the curse of the Wampa. 😉
Maybe I’m being unrealistically optimistic, or maybe I’m just uninformed, but if you’re making an ANH:R2, can you redo the Wampa in an ESB:R2?
It’s pretty easy to just mask out the Episode number of the crawl. I can do that if we still wanna keep the general looks of the crawls.
Wait, is this a group thing, or is this OP’s project?
The footage found here is very nice, too!
Oh god, explosion rings, that doesn’t sound good for the future of the OOT.
I made some crawls for something like this about a month ago. I didn’t do TFA, and I’m not satisfied with RotJ (bad fade out), but this is still worth mentioning (unless you go with Tantive3+1’s suggestion, which isn’t a bad idea).
I’m redoing RotJ and making TFA right now. TFA is done!

Edit: Fair warning, the ANH crawl’s audio isn’t from the actual movie, it’s the cover in the Special Edition Soundtrack release. Additionally, RotJ has a four-ellipses, not three like in the movie.
I think the only real solution is to ban everyone but me and then I can do whatever I want.
You’d get lonely pretty quick.
Dude loneliness is the best
Use old Obi-Wan and Luke as an intro and some voice overs
Very interested in that.
Ahhhhhhhhhh…too many ABDs!
Hold on, what the hell? Why are there two ABDs?
I used method 1. Remapped 100 to 200. Worked perfectly.
You can get a watch at Wal-Mart for 5 dollars that you can take up to like 150 meters under water for unlimited time.
I bought a watch like that there in 2014. Went swimming at a 10 foot deep pool. It broke.
I didn’t even go to the bottom with it on, it was 4 or so inches below the surface, max.

I really hate this change. Linguistics is a hobby of mine, and Aurebesh is one of the most poorly designed fictional writing systems ever, if not the most poorly designed one. It’s really just the English alphabet, with a few digraphs given their own letter, but the digraph letters are optional, anyway. I’d rather not think about it. I’d honestly prefer changing all the Aurebesh in the movies to the Latin Alphabet over changing that one piece of Latin to Aurebesh. I hate Aurebesh.Aurebesh wasn’t created to be a plausible alphabet or even to be readable; it was created to look cool in the background of a movie in 1983. It’s more than adequate to the purposes of the original trilogy. If you’re watching those movies and all you can think of is “lore” and “worldbuilding” piled on years later, you might be watching them wrong.
While it wasn’t originally created with that in mind, they did create an actual system, and in the prequels, Special Editions, spinoffs, etc, you can actually translate Aurebesh. (And the change was made after Aurebesh got its own system, you can actually translate the “power” thing)
I’m pretty sure VFP was being sarcastic.
What???
Whoops!
Some guy named vote_for_palpatine said something, and people were taking him seriously when I thought he was sarcastic. Little did I know that this thread had 5 pages, not 1, and my comment wouldn’t be directly below the discussion, it would be multiple pages after it.
That worked. Thanks!
Edit: I had a problem, but I figured it out. Just in case anyone has the same problem, the starfield was zoomed in pretty far, because I made the output crawl 720p, but my input starfield was 1080p.
Make sure, when using this, the output crawl has the exact same dimensions as your starfield.
OK nevermind, it just plays faster and then freezes after 2245 frames.
Not enough frames, so it looks laggy, although that just got me thinking, maybe I can just up the framerate in blender. I will be trying that.
sarcy but civil…dogscock
Why is my dog’s penis being brought into this?
So I’m a pretty amateur editor, so don’t expect too much.
Does tons of crazy fancy stuff
Is there a way I can make the crawl go by slower?
Fight fight fight fight
I’m pretty sure VFP was being sarcastic.
“Code black” and “No blasters” sound very similar.
Linguistic breakdown:
/k/ and /n/ are both common obstruents
Then they both have /o͡ʊ/
There’s /db/ and /b/, but often, /db/ becomes /b/
Then there’s /læ/
/k/ and /s/ are common obstruents commonly mistaken for each other
The “ers” part is kinda quiet, especially on the second yell. Your brain probably thought “Code black”, went with it, and ignored the “ers”.
Those of you who are dank linguists, I know this wasn’t 100% perfect but it gets the point across.
I hope you guys know what i mean. Haydens head footage (played backwards in real time - i know, this is confusing) suggests an unused ROTS scene where Anakin saw Padme in the distance. At first he smils and then reacts with an amorous shy nodding and looks to a person next to him. Maybe Obi-Wan or Bail Organa in an early senate scene shortly after Palpatines rescue?
Anakin is definitely a creep in the prequels, but he isn’t nearly that creepy that he’d look at Padme like that. He looks like a pedophile!
I think he was just kinda standing around making weird faces (as one does) and George just kinda recorded him.
