Twentieth Century-Fox fanfare.
A black backdrop, bejeweled with distant stars. And ten words:
"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..... "
I saw Episode IV: A New Hope when I was all of six years old, and my stomach still tightens with eager anticipation at the sight of that simple proem. It always promises that what we are about to see isn’t just an ordinary shoot-’em-up between plastic models chroma keyed against a matte painting. Instead, the words betoken something vaster, something more potent: we are witnessing a capital-S Story set in a mythic world where the stakes go as high as they possibly can, and where Good and Evil clash on a grand, primal scale.
