Nowadays you can just open up iMovie and make this title sequence about as fast as you can type the words. It's supremely easy. That wasn't always the case. We're all spoiled now when it comes to editing in general. Computers let us do things in seconds that used to take hours and required a skilled hand. My two year old nephew could make the Star Wars title sequence right now if he wanted to. That's insane to me.That's why we have to appreciate how Star Wars had to be made. Star Wars forged the way for future filmmakers.
The opening title sequence seems so cliche now, since it's been around for half a century now, but you have to understand that at the time, that title sequence was crazy. No one had experienced anything like that.
