I know you can do it with windows movie maker.

Or you could make text objects to do it.

Maybe someone has made a modern module/plugin for that effect?

there is this:

Download example:

bit old but may help.

Similar to Movie maker, bit shaky though.

There is a simply way to realize that like a command CreateTextOverlay?? I want a simply script that scroll from up to down like films?? There is a code example??

Did you check out the thread steptoe linked you to?
SSH uses Characters that are automatically resized by AGS due to being on a walkable area with continuous scaling.

There are other ways to do this, but you always have to move (and resize) the text yourself.

There isn't a built in command to do Star Wars scrolling.

If you just want text to move up the screen without disappearing in the distance like in Star Wars, you can use the Credits module (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=28659.0).
