Lyrael Registered: May '02	Date Posted: 6/9/02 1:37pm Subject: Duty of the Jedi Opening Crawl.
	Hi. I sat down today and started thinking about the opening crawl, that wa a few hours ago, and im still thinking. Could any one please help, This is the part ive figured out. -- The Supreme Chancellor have dispached two Jedi Knights that are on their way to negotiat with the Trade Federation which have mad a blokade at the planet of Naboo stopping all shipping to the planet. On the same starship are another two Jedi knights sent by the Jedi Counsil to investigate a disturbance in the force that master Yoda sensed. -- Do you thing and come up with a Opening crawl, the best one will be in the film and the one that wrote it in the credits. Most of the stuff is in what i wrote, as you might see the film taks place just as Episode1. Thanx

	Well, I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but I CAN correct the two sentences you posted. "The Supreme Chancellor has dispached two Jedi Knights that are on their way to negotiate with the Trade Federation which has made a blockade at the planet of Naboo, stopping all shipping to the planet. On the same starship are another two Jedi Knights sent by the Jedi Council to investigate a disturbance in the force that master Yoda sensed." This is probably not what you were looking for, but oh well. ^_^ --t.toe -----signature----- i've started two seperate fanfilms; and finished neither of them.

	This is not to say your opening crawl is bad, but isn't the crawl traditionally suppose to have three paragraphs? ?:\|

	I think he's asking us to revise his crawl. Here's what I came up with: STAR WARS DUTY OF THE JEDI A crisis has stricken a remote corner of the Galactic Republic. The Trade Federation has blockaded the Naboo system and stopped all shipping. The Supreme Chancellor has already responded by surreptitiously dispatching two Jedi Knights to negotiate with the Federation. Unbeknownst to all, even to the Chancellor, on the same starship are another two Jedi Knights sent by the Jedi Council to investigate a disturbance in the Force sensed by Master Yoda.... Rick McCallum loves you! -----signature----- "Run Leia Run", "The Chopped-Off Hands of Star Wars" and "The Fan Film Menace"... ... and now the award-winning "Brooklyn Force".

	STAR WARS DUTY OF THE JEDI A crisis has stricken a remote corner of the GALACTIC REPUBLIC. The Trade Federation has blockaded the Naboo system and stopped all shipping. The Supreme Chancellor has already responded by surreptitiously dispatching two JEDI KNIGHTS to negotiate with the Federation. Unbeknownst to all, even to the Chancellor, on the same starship are another two Jedi Knights sent by the Jedi Council to investigate a disturbance in the Force sensed by Master Yoda.... Gotta do the seemingly random all-caps of words.

	JediTAC Well what would you like instead? I know mostly every fan film has the "Of the" in its name, but i didn´t come up with anything better, Thanx for the crawl, just what i wanted someone else to do the rest of it, lets see if anyone else got one thats better? write your crawl for my fanfilm and then ill use the best one! and your name will be in the credits.

	It's generally a good idea, when writing an opening crawl to begin broad and slowly narrow down to the beginning action. Much like an intro to an essay, the opening crawl is the intro to YOUR story. Which is what arfour and adam have done. Utilize their example if you don't plan to use it exactly as they have written it.

	Arfour, your revision looks a heck of a lot like mine, except that yours is colorful and has some capital words.

	AdamBertocci -- Sorry about the confusion (if there was any). I didn't mean to take any credit. I just took yours and made it colorful

	don't forget the random capitilzation of words! however, i don't think its random, i think it points out the key people/things that make up the major plot of the story.

	Okay Arfour. Colors are fun. The capitalization of words thing seems to happen only on key phrases, and only once per crawl, and only on even-numbered movies: ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC DEATH STAR GALACTIC EMPIRE I guess JEDI KNIGHTS, SITH LORDS or somethin' like that could be capitalized... hmm.
