You got to know that Darth Vader was a serious bad guy just from his entrance. In contrast, "Raiders" was a slower-paced opening, but again, there was no exposition - the audience just had to experience the rising action with Indy and figure out what was happening as events unfolded. Both movies immersed you in their fictional worlds immediately. "Decency is not news; it is buried in the obituaries --but it is a force stronger than crime" ~ Robert A.
