The Big Picture “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” The score by John Williams blasts out as the yellow font opening crawl appears somewhere in space, helping audiences catch up on key backstory lore in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. So much has happened already in this space opera, and so much is about to. It’s one of the most famous moments of the Skywalker Saga, and despite it being such a small part of the film, it was one more thing that stressed out its creator, George Lucas.
