One thing I remember about putting this intro together was that I was determined to show the original Star Wars opening crawl, without the “Episode IV” label that was added later. It took a lot of searching to find a good-quality copy that wasn’t a fan re-creation. But, when you listen to the original music, it sounds very tinny and a little off-key. I ended up super-imposing the music from “Episode VII: The Phantom Menace” over it, and it worked out pretty well. While the film is good, I was very lucky to have seen Carrie Fisher perform her show live in Seattle and in Toronto, and that was an experience I’ll always cherish.
