Star Wars Infinities: A New Hope 1

A LONG TIME AGO... IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...
...A WAR RAGED BETWEEN OPPRESSED AND OPPRESSOR. BETWEEN REBEL AND EMPIRE.
BETWEEN THE GUARDIANS OF PEACE AND JUSTICE AND THE SERVANTS OF DARKNESS.
A PROUD AND NOBLE TRADITION WAS PASSED INTO THE CHARGE OF A NEW GENERATION.
STEADFAST ALLIANCES WERE FORMED IN THE CRUCIBLE OF WAR.
IN THE DARK HEART OF THE UNIVERSE.
TINY ISLANDS OF COURAGE IN AN OCEAN OF FEAR.
LIKE POINTS OF SPARKLING INCANDESCENCE PIERCING A SUFFOCATING BLACK SHROUD.
DESTINIES FULFILLED.
DESTINIES UNFOLDING.
EVENTS INEXORABLY DRAWN TO A LINCHPIN IN TIME.
TO A TEMPORAL FULCRUM IN WHICH A SPECIFIC FUTURE RISISES.
A FUTURE BIRTHED IN ONE WHITE-HOT, BLINDING MOMENT.
A FUTURE MADE, EVENT BY EVENT, LINK BY LINK, A CHAIN REACTION OF ACTIONS, REACTION... AND CHANGE.
ALTER ONE EVENT, AND A NEW FUTURE COMES TO BE.
SPLINTER A LINK, AND A NEW CHAIN IS FORGED.
