Does he really need this: "regions are waging war"? It's not in the English your client provided.
It does make a complete sentence. {poH nI' ret, qIb Hopqu'Daq} "A Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" also serves as a time- and place-stamp for the next bit "Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base..." so {Qoj Sepmey} really isn't needed. It's commentary.

Might as well save him a bit of discomfort by not adding more than is absolute required.
