In Star Wars lore, The Journal of the Whills was a record of all the events that transpired in the galaxy, which was recorded by a secret organization known as the Ancient Order of the Whills. The Journal of the Whills was originally conceived as a plot device that would have connected the Star Wars galaxy to the "real world," although that idea was ultimately scrapped. "The entire story of Star Wars is actually being recounted to the keeper of the Journal of the Whills-remember that?-a hundred years after the events of Return of the Jedi by none other than R2-D2." Here's an excerpt from the book, available on Amazon, which reveals who the Star Wars narrator really is. The author reveals in his book that, on the set of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, franchise creator George Lucas revealed what he called his "ultimate framing device" to animation director Rob Coleman, after he arrived for his first day of work. In 2014, Chris Taylor published a book dubbed How Star Wars Conquered the Universe: The Past, Present, and Future of a Multibillion Dollar Franchise, where the journalist delves through the history of this multi-billion dollar franchise. As it turns out, though, the opening crawl text from all the Star Wars movies actually comes from a narrator, who until now, was anonymous.
1977's Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope broke new ground in more ways than one, dazzling fans with these stories set " a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." The opening crawl from this original classic became a hallmark of the franchise, with the scrolling text setting up the adventure that would follow on the big screen.
