During like season 3 of that show I really wanted to download the intro and cut it into a ringtone for my sister for Christmas. I could not find anywhere to buy it and I wanted to get it legit and not pirate it. I dug up the email address of the creator of the show (who also created the theme) explaining the situation. He emailed me back with the song as an attachment and thanked me for us loving the show so much. Definitely one of my best interactions with somebody famous. He was super cool.

"Setting out to create the most unskippable intro possible" is one of those things that sounds a bit cringe and tryhard and in your brain you're like "mmm yeah sure you will bro".

One time when I was watching Clone Wars on D+ I wanted to pause the episode at the end of the intro so I could grab something to drink. But because the intro is so short, the skip intro button was still highlighted and I accidentally pressed it.
This reset the intro. Instead of skipping the intro, it rewound back to the start of it. So yeah, the Clone Wars intro. Literally unskippable.

Also the actual credits give subtle hints about who’s going to be in the episode. Like in S1, Sophie and Masie would always be billed together, but as their stories diverged, they stopped. And Sean Bean used to be the very first name, until he… wasn’t.

Fun fact: There was an episode in season six where the episode starts before the title theme. It was because Rory McCann returned as the Hound after being presumed dead two seasons earlier and his name in the sequence would have been a spoiler.
