George Lucas Kept Ancient Narration

The opening crawl of "Star Wars" begins with the storybook-style line "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" because George Lucas first imagined the films as stories told by an ancient race of immortals. Lucas later wrote those immortals out of the early films. The narration style remained, giving the saga its mythic, old-tale feeling before the story even began.
