Every single film in the Star Wars: Skywalker Saga begins with which words?

Once upon a time, in a land far away...

It was the worst of times, it was the best of times...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy...

Each film begins with these words accompanied by silence. Then come the famous musical fanfare and the scrolling text which sets the scene - at least in the Skywalker Saga. The standalone films do have the classic words, but not the scrolling text

Steven Spielberg

Peter Jackson

Anakin Skywalker

Jacen Snootles

Shriv Suurgav

We watch as Anakin is seduced by the dark side of the force, only to redeem himself at the climax of Return of the Jedi. According to one story, the name "Vader" is based on the German or Dutch for "father", making the title mean "Dark Father" - apt, considering who he is!

Jar Jar Binks

Yoda

Ponda Baba

Chewbacca

According to Ahmed Best, the actor who played Jar Jar, his character was to develop into a major villain in subsequent films. However, the poor reception Jar Jar received from critics and the public, meant that he was all-but written out of the story
