Wait until you hear about a character named Jar Jar Binks! It's well worth the wait. (pxscdn.com)

It's call en media res and it's classic

Sure, but The Odyssey doesn't have Odysseus awkwardly stepping around Scylla's tail in bad CG.

CG was still very primitive in bronze age Greece.

Very few stories begin at the beginning of time.

Even fewer have to retcon the romantic tension of the first episode because that was all they wrote or thought out.

Even the movie being en media res is a retcon.

A New Hope was not called “Episode 4” until its re-release in 1981. Before then it was released and packaged as a stand alone story.
