Star Wars Rogue One: 20 WTF Moments

20. There's No Opening Title Crawl

Though this was confirmed ahead of the movie's release, it was still rather jarring that the film opened with the usual "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away..." title card, but didn't follow up with the customary opening title crawl set to John Williams' iconic theme.

Instead, the movie went straight into a flashback sequence featuring a young Jyn Erso, and the movie's brief title didn't appear until about 10 minutes in.

It makes sense of course, considering that Rogue One is a delineated story in the Star Wars universe rather than a core entry, but it still left a lot of purists scratching their heads, especially as various comics and video games in the past have featured their own opening crawls regardless.
