"A Long Time Ago"

"A Long Time Ago" is a phrase often used at the beginning of stories, especially in movies like "Star Wars," to indicate that the events being described took place in the distant past, often in a fictional or mythic setting. It signals that the story is set outside the present time, creating a sense of history or timelessness. This phrase helps establish a narrative tone that transports the audience to an earlier era, emphasizing that the story’s events are part of a legendary or legendary-like history rather than current reality.
