    For further clarity for people unfamiliar - in medias res is not starting in the middle of the story exactly, but rather not beginning at the beginning of everything. Star Wars begins in medias res without a prequel or sequel trilogy at all - famously beginning with a Rebel ship being fired upon.

    Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark starts in media res as well, as a related example.

        Yes. That is also true.
