20 WTF Moments From Sharknado: The 4th Awakens

20. The Star Wars-Esque Title Crawl

The Sharknado franchise is no stranger to Star Wars references, what with the light-saber machete in the previous movie, and as soon as this film's title was confirmed to be Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, it was pretty clear we'd be getting at least a few cursory nods to the iconic sci-fi franchise.

Well, SyFy wasted no time with it, kicking the film off with a Star Wars-esque title crawl, referring to itself as "Episode IV" and neatly blasting through a ton of plot exposition that would've otherwise wasted precious screen time. It's not big or clever, but it did its job and left more time for shark shenanigans, so we'll take it.
