Opening Crawl Ellipses....

Postby mrcia » April 14th 2005 9:53 pm

Just an observation, I wonder if anyone else saw it. In episode 1 and 2, the opening crawl finishes with four dots. like .... after the crawl. In a new hope and ESB they have four dots after the words, .... HOWEVER, in Return of the Jedi, there is only three ... after the paragraph. So there. Pointless, but interesting.

thats what i dont understand why the novelization doesn't release either shortly before or on the same day of the movie. instead, we get this dead zone before the movie and we get crap posts like dots. come on now, its not cipher diaz or anything so who cares

It's called "ellipsis."

I never payed that much attention to is myself. I'll be sure and look for it the next time i watch the movies.

The fourth dot is missing in order to keep you on the edge of your seat during the movie. It's like, "Damn, when IS that fourth dot going to appear?!"
