The EMPIRE fears that another defeat could bring a thousand more solar systems into the rebellion, and Imperial control over the galaxy would be lost forever.To crush the rebellion once and for all, the EMPIRE is constructing a sinister new battle station. A brave alliance of underground freedom fighters has challenged the tyranny and oppression of the awesome GALACTIC EMPIRE.Striking from a fortress hidden among the billion stars of the galaxy, rebel spaceships have won their first victory in a battle with the powerful Imperial Starfleet.

Like all other aspects of almost any other production, Star Wars: A New Hope went through plenty of tweaks, and the opening crawl was among them.

The yellow text has become an iconic font, copied by many others since the first release. It is worth noting that the infill of the words 'Star' and 'Wars' are black, and the starfield does NOT show through.
