Attack of the Clones Cut in UK

Posted by michael on from the jar-jar-still-in-it-unfortunately dept.

MartyJG writes "The British Board of Film Classification has demanded a cut in Ep2 AOTC for a head-butt. I don't know which is more extreme: UK viewers insisting on viewing the US version for 1 second of extra film, or that a 1 second cut means the difference between a '12' (~PG-13) and a 'PG' certificate. For some reason the distributors must think fewer people would see the film if it was a '12'. The film report is on the BBFC website."

    It's just a stupid piece of textile. You Americans are way too attached to symbols: get out more.

    Are you sure it's the Delaware stripe? Maybe Delaware is at the bottom and it's Virginia that's been cut.

    agreed. The best thing that the BBFC could do for this would probably be to cut in some scenes with Harrison Ford in them. You know, that guy with all the charisma in Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back...
