Star Wars did not make the list?
Nope. I don't think the author was doing "best" opening sequences; rather he was looking at different styles. I think the style of Star Wars would be similar to Watchmen in the sense it gives you backstory.
Did you notice that in the Superman titles, Marlon Brando is listed first, then Gene Hackman, then Richard Donner (director), then the title of the movie, and then Christopher Reeve.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I think the Star Wars titles were meant to capture the feeling of the Flash Gordon Saturday afternoon serials

Les Preludes
I had to look that up
Yes, that could work in Star Wars, especially from14:00 to 16:00

Wasn't the Star Wars opening unique at the time, as it didn't list any names?
