Is this one of those things Lucas had put in the script but someone wiser changed and didn’t tell him?
One of my favorite Red Letter Media quotes referring to the opening of Star Wars:
“We know everything we need to know just by the visuals. Rebels. Empire. We got a sense of how small and ill-equipped the rebels are and how large and powerful the Empire is. The low angle implies dominance, and the length of the Star Destroyer implies the Long Reach of the Empire. This shot says everything we need to know without saying one word. In fact, this is so genius, I have a feeling that George Lucas had nothing to do with it and probably fought against putting it in the movie.”
