As a staple of every installment in the mainline Star Wars saga films, the opening crawl is crucial to the rest of the film. It catches the audience up and helps set the tone for what they’re about to witness for the next two hours and change. So there’s a lot riding on getting every single word right. To that point, The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson recently described the approach he took to crafting the crawl. All Lucas poetry jokes aside, Johnson admitted to approaching the task much like one would write a haiku. The Looper director also revealed that he’d snuck a few words into the crawl, some of which have never appeared in any Star Wars media before. Fortunately, our Canadian spy was on hand to capture the full list of literary easter eggs Johnson hid within the slowly rising yellow text.
