    Default Opening crawl (spoilers)

    EPISODE IX THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

    The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE.

    GENERAL LEIA ORGANA dispatches secret agents to gather intelligence, while REY, the last hope of the Jedi, trains for battle against the diabolical FIRST ORDER.

    Meanwhile, Supreme Leader KYLO REN rages in search of the phantom Emperor, determined to destroy any threat to his power....

    -----

    Seems a bit shorter than a lot of the other ones, and kind of similar to ROTS in terms of corniness. "Phantom Emperor" is a bit of a nice touch, kind of a slight nod to TPM?

    I think it's telling that this is meant to be the 9th movie in a Saga and yet the openly crawl has the least to say.

    The Phantom Emperor should absolutely have been the title of this movie as a bookend to Episode 1...but I guess people didn't want to be associated with the prequels.

    As per Lucas, the titular Phantom Menace was in fact Palpatine.

    Yikes. So the leaks are true? So by the end of this movie all the Skywalkers are dead and a Palpatine commits identity theft?

    Much like ROTS, I just don't like exclamation points in the crawl. Its a small detail but I like them to read as more monotone. No emotion, just delivering imformation.

    a one year gap and nothing on the state of the galaxy?

    why not
    "supreme leader kylo ren stands triumphant! with the galaxy under his full control, he worries little about the scattered remnants of the resistance when a mysterious broadcast challenges the first orderīs might!"

    agree. guess it is supposed to inject some urgency into the opening scences of the movies

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    It would have been cool if the first teaser of TROS was the mysterious broadcast.

    great idea
    havenīt heard any spoiler so far mentioning the movie actually featuring the broadcast. will we ever find out what the emperor felt the need of telling the common people?
    is he still posing as a common human, a former senator or does he reveal that the force is his ally?

    The broadcast was dropped as audio during the Fortnite event. "At last the work of generations is complete,The great error is corrected. The day of victory is at hand. The day of revenge. The day of the Sith."

    It's probably somewhere in the movie at some point. Be kind of silly if they just put it in a video game.

    I agree. Everybody knew Palpatine was in this. So they weren't spoiling anything if they had called it that.

    spoilers:
    He is going by Emperor Palpatine. There is a broadcast in the film, but it is to all worlds to surrender or else face the wrath of The Final Order which is the fleet of Star Destroyers with Death Star mounted weapons. They even blow up a planet as a warning because... why not? For old times sake lol.

    I can't recall. But everybody refers to him as Emperor Palpatine in this including Leia and Luke. Sidious may have been his Sith title, but he was just referred to as The Emperor in the original trilogy. Which is continued here.
