Minecraft Fan Recreates Iconic Star Wars Opening Crawl
Back in 2009 when it was first unleashed onto the world, hardly anyone could have foreseen just how huge Minecraft would become. Given the fact that it's a video game that helps players relax, not to mention being enormous in size, its biggest appeal is that it allows fans to do just about anything. From building intricate structures to complex Redstone contraptions, the only real limit is the community's imagination. Sometimes players will even go so far as to do recreations of their favorite films.
In this instance, a Reddit user who goes by number1nathan has discovered a way to recreate the opening crawl sequence from Star Wars within Minecraft. A brief clip shows a more blocky version of Episode 4's scrolling credits done in the sky. Essentially, the user has managed to re-texture the clouds and in doing so is able to simulate the beginning of the first Star Wars movie. It is a little shaky as the player has to keep realigning themselves to make the scrolling effect look authentic, but it's a pretty impressive execution all the same. They even answer a query about how they were able to create the crawl by saying that the images are just called «clouds.png,» which can be easily edited.

It's also not the first time the two franchises have been mashed together.
