Scarves Featuring ‘Star Wars’ Opening Crawls To Be Released

Mighty Fine will release special scarves that feature the iconic opening crawls seen in the original 'Star Wars' trilogy of movies.

A New Hope Crawl Star WarsOne of the quintessential elements of the Star Wars Saga films is the opening crawl. Since 1977, those blue letters that read, “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….” were then followed by eight yellow letters blasting onto the screen with the boisterous score by John Williams. What then followed the iconic logo was the opening crawl that gave audiences a sense of the current state of the galaxy.

The opening crawl also served as a nod to the Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers film serials that George Lucas loved. It is such a major staple to Star Wars that many fans were disappointed that it was not featured in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. 

For fans who love the opening crawls of the original Star Wars trilogy, they now have the opportunity to wear them in style. Thanks to Mighty Fine, three collectible scarves featuring the crawls of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi will be available later this year.
