Star Wars Crawl Creator: Site lets you write your own adventure in scrolling text
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Star Wars’ crawl opening is truly iconic, making the hairs stand up on the back of your neck from the moment the orchestra sounds and the gold lettering blasts onto the screen.
Well now you can make your own, thanks to a charming Crawl Creator on starwars.com.
Sadly you can’t change the Star Wars logo itself, but all of the scrolling text under it can be rewritten into whatever backstory you desire.
The mini-game has actually been around for a couple of months, but is proving particularly popular this week following the release of The Force Awakens.
