<p>
It is a period of civil war.
Rebel spaceships, striking
from a hidden base, have won
their first victory against
the evil Galactic Empire.
</p>
<p>
During the battle, Rebel
spies managed to steal secret
plans to the Empire's
ultimate weapon, the DEATH
STAR, an armored space
station with enough power to
destroy an entire planet.
</p>
<p>
Pursued by the Empire's
sinister agents, Princess
Leia races home aboard her
starship, custodian of the
stolen plan that can save
her people and restore
freedom to the galaxy....

* Star Wars opening crawl from 1977
*
* I freaking love Star Wars, but could not find
* a web version of the original opening crawl from 1977.
* So I created this one.
*
* I wrote an article where I explain how this works:
* http://timpietrusky.com/star-wars-opening-crawl-from-1977
*
* Watch the Start Wars opening crawl on YouTube.
* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jK-jZo6xjY
*
* Stuff I used:
* - CSS (animation, transform)
* - HTML audio (the opening theme)
* - SVG (the Star Wars logo from wikimedia.org)
* http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Star_Wars_Logo.svg
* - JavaScript (to sync the animation/audio)
*
* Thanks to Craig Buckler for his amazing article
* which helped me to create this remake of the Star Wars opening crawl.

Star Wars opening crawl from 1977

I freaking love Star Wars, but could not find a web version of the original opening crawl from 1977. So I created this one.

I wrote an article where I explain how this works. Watch the Start Wars opening crawl on YouTube.

Stuff I used:

  • CSS (animation, transform)
  • HTML audio (the opening theme)
  • SVG (the Star Wars logo from wikimedia.org
  • JavaScript (to sync the animation/audio)

Thanks to Craig Buckler for his amazing article which helped me to create this remake of the Star Wars opening crawl.
