They're going to get a ton of backlash if they don't, IMO.
Furthermore, if they leave it to the "Main Saga", does that mean that they plan for these movies to go on forever? I mean, there's so much more of the Star War galaxy to explore than just the Skywalker lineage. |

At that point, it's just another Sci Fi/Fantasy movie that takes place in the same galaxy, just like any other movie produced in this galaxy. Blech. |

What's more important: the visceral part of text scrolling from bottom to top or what's actually said within the text itself?

This is a great chance to play with tone and voice and tell different kinds of stories. The crawl is a throwback to those old serials. It's a cute device but it seems silly when you're not in the middle of a saga. I don't really need the exposition. Again, I'm not anti-crawl. If they do put it it, it's totally fine with me. But I don't need it. And I think this is a great opportunity to break away from that for future stand alone films. |

But it's not, especially if the film is set just before A New Hope, which will prominently feature Imperial Stormtroopers, Darth Vader, the Emperor and the Death Star, all of which are integral to the Star Wars Universe and story.

For me, I guess maybe I don't care if "they're just movies" as long as they're good movies. Things like The Force and the other pervailing iconography can more than carry the weight and make it "feel like a Star Wars movie" without the crawl. I might be a little more married to the fanfare, though. I'll have to think about that for a bit. That might be weird. I don't know. But I'm completely indifferent to the crawl. If other fans NEED it, then keep it. Whatever. But it doesn't have an affect on me either way as it pertains to the movie and/or it's place in the Star Wars universe. |

It's a standalone film with some of the same characters and locations.

Since they've used the crawl with just about everything audiovisually related to the IP, they're pretty much bound to stick with it.

Yeah, I'm with you here, too. Again, whatever ends up happing won't matter to me in the slightest (crawl/fanfare v no crawl/no fanfare) if the movie is good. And I fully expect it to be fantastic. But if it were up to me, I think I'd go no crawl/fanfare for the stand alones. |
