    Its ironic a computer wizard friend of mine came up with this 9 years ago.
    Makes me wonder. Hmmm
  • Haha. Excellent.
  • Wordy Dude
    How about this one....

    Because it's REAL.

    The box where you ener the crawl text isn't there when I go to the page. I can enter text in all the other fields, but not that one so it won't gernerate the crawl...Is anyone elsehaving that problem?
  • J.D.
    Works great for me! The only problem is the audio not lasting long enough -- it allows tons of text for the crawl, but provides not enough music to accompany it.

    Otherwise, it's GREAT!
  • Jeff
    ya Im having the same problem...no where to enter the main text
  • Zadi
    Im having same issue ><
  • Star Wars Crawl is my site. I wasn't aware of this text box bug. Can someone who is experiencing it please send me an email at budden [at] gmail, with your browser version, and what exactly it looks like. A screenshot would be excellent if possible.

    Thanks, and hope you're all enjoying it!
  • I tried to do it twice now, and when I generate the crawl, the intro and title show up, but not the text I enter.
  • Ok, I've fixed the text box disappearance bug.

    DAMN YOU LUCAS!!

    DAAAAMMNN YYOOOOOUUUUUUSSSS!!
  • Heckle0
    Brent come back to us and maybe tell us where we can get the code. That was so much fun.

    There's a motion template, for use in FCP or Motion on the mac.

    Also, Brent....Lucasfilm wouldn't be able to do anything at all if you removed the SW logo and changed their text somewhat.

    It's very disconcerting to see them be little bitches about this, after all, what you did was something to honour their creation. I would put the site back up, minus their intellectual property and submit the whole sordid tale as a story to Slashdot and Slashfilm. Also, throw up a banner ad and make a few bucks for your trouble.

    Thanks guys for your words..

    I'm not angry at Lucasfilm and hope you all aren't either. I think it would have been in their interest to let it stay, as it did generate fan interest in the franchise. But I'm still a Star Wars fan. Maybe in the future, I could pull off a 'generic' crawl, but for now, the site will remain closed.
  • Mikey M
    I think I am going to buy a Fuck Lucas shirt.
  • Craig M.
    Dang it. I favorited the link earlier cause I was busy and now its closed. Rassum Frassum Lucasfilm. Lucas didn't even invent that crawl thing. He stole it from old movie serials.
  • Greg
    Removed. George Lucus really is a C U Next Tuesday. First Indian Jones, now this.
  • Jamie
    Brent, I'm not entirely sure your site was violating any laws. You were essentially parodying the Star Wars crawl.

    Parody is a legal form of expression.

    Also, someone overseas will probably just recreate what you did and do out of the reach of Lucasfilm lawyers. It is in this way that lawyers do not serve their client's interests as they are ethically supposed to do.

    But, anyway, fuck you Lucasfilm.
  • pete
    seems George Lucas has got his legals eagles on the case and shut the site down ... anyone else thing this is a tad OTT ?
  • 790
    I agree Lucas legal is OTT big time. !!
    This is BS!!!! Don't treat the fans like this George , gheesh why do you think some hate you so.............

    But look at it this way, Lucas's people are listening and out there...........

    What a joke. Just when I started feeling some nostalgia for the Star Wars franchise, I'm IMMEDIATELY reminded of what's become of LucasFilm.

    And now I'm back to thinking about Jar-Jar.
  • big daddy
    i dont know if i would describe george lucas as 'on the toilet' like some of you have but i do think its a bit over the top. it wasnt like he was making fat wads of cash off of it or something. if anything they should have offered him something, to promote the game and upcoming animated thingamajigger.
