I thought the crawl was always there, it was just much longer and more detailed. De Palma cut it down to the three paragraphs we know and love today. Either way, still fucking cool. And obviously had a huge impact on the future of the franchise.

Very possibly. The cut was so early that it didn’t even have any special effects in it yet, so I’m sure the final ‘77 release cut was still a long way off.

That's really fascinating. The talk has always been that De Palma helped George edit and re-write the crawl. If he actually had the idea himself, then that's kind of a big deal (from an historian perspective). I wonder if this has become common knowledge. Really interesting.

And it sounds like something Ford would say. Can you imagine him on the set of ANH thinking to himself "What the hell did I get myself into?"
