Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13?
geekboxjockey writes "This story hints at the next Star Wars being a bit more of a mature themed movie: "[The film] is much more dark...more emotional. It's much more of a tragedy," adds Lucas. "...it will be the first Star Wars that's a PG-13.""There's also a new trailer airing during tonight's The O.C., so you can use that as an excuse to watch FOX teen drama. Fortunately for me, Summer is the only excuse I need. And maybe Captain Oats.

We wouldn't want pre-teens emulating the movie and killing themselves trying to surf on lava, would we? Good plan!
Trolling is a art,
Captain Oats and Princess Sparkle are totally gonna hook up and do it. Last episode Seth and Summer kissed, so now its only a matter of time before they bring their plastic companions into the mix :)

Does this mean we will be seeing the cut scene from Natalie Portman's movie "Closer" where she does a full nudity scene. I am sure they can work it into the movie somehow.
JarJar and Anakin decide to go out to a club one night and are shocked to find the princess slumming it up for some extra cash.
I thought, since NP is onboard, SW is always R18 in a geek's eyes ?d
Rock that crushes, Paper & Scissors that don't matter.
But how will you know how it ends??
Well then, if we're going to have one of those Leia-in-a-bikini scenes in Ep3, PG-13 means we get to lose one piece of clothing, right?
Am I the only one that thinks his last few movies showed be restricted to those 13 and under? These movies are lifeless, poorly written, sparkly eye candy. Ihey're the filmmaking equivalent of dangling a shiny keychain in front of a monkey.
Way back when Jurassic Park came out, all these brilliant parents took their anklebiters to the local Bijou and to see the interesting dinosaurs. Whenever something graphic or loud happened the kids would scream, some bursting into crying fits. I could just hear these parents being roused from sleep for the next month by kids having nightmares. What could be so disturbing in this film? "Aaauugghhh! Mommy! Daddy! The Jar Jar has invited me to a sleepover with Jedi Juice!"
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
I'm gonna kill your motherfuckin pasty white ass! Lightin bolt sendin motherfucker. Yo' bitch, you ever think of gettin new dentures? {ZZZZZZZap} God DAMN that hurt! Shit, your ass is mine now. With my blue Yoda saber, when you absolutely postively have to kill every last Sith motherfucker in the room...
I think that maybe the third one will be better. George Lucas can't be oblivious to the fact that the public opinion of his last two films was not so favorable. I doubt he would want to be forever remembered of ruining a potentially good saga.

WURD!!
Weesa really fucked nowsa.

I really hope it's because of a Natalie Portman nipple slip.
You will probably mod me down, but...
Finally, Nathalie Portman in a Hot Gritz scene!
I'm not watching "the O.C."...lol. Who volunteers to rip it and bittorrent it for everyone else?
"A truly wise man realizes he knows nothing."
"It's much more of a tragedy," adds Lucas. :P
Hey, he said it
How well did that logic work for you after Episode I?
Does this mean we will be seeing the cut scene from Natalie Portman's movie "Closer" where she does a full nudity scene. I am sure they can work it into the movie somehow.
But if she's not petrified, what's the point?
Hey, wait a minute. This script... umm... We, uh, we stand by the story, even if the script itself may have been forged.
Courage.
It's called maturing. It's a good thing, really. Adds perspective.
We all remember Episodes I - III with fond memories from our childhood, and they seemed to have stood up well to the test of time. The slowly building arc of Anakin's fall from the dark side against the backdrop of the crumbling republic made for some good cinema. Sure, there were a few mistakes (Jar Jar), but none as annoying as the new trilogy (Episode IV-VI) that Lucas started producing a few years ago.
Compare: The multi-facetted Anakin vs the rather shallow Luke who has the depth of the average parking lot puddle. Or what about this 'Han Solo' character which seems right out of a John Wayne western? Instead of political intrigue, we have straight shoot-em-up space battles. And don't get me started on the third movie -- according to the leaks, not only is it going to have Luke blowing up the Death Star yet again, but it will have these cute cuddly teddy bear aliens that are an obvious ploy to appeal to the youngsters.
Lucas! Stop raping my childhood! Ugh, you should have stopped with Episode III back in the 80s. How dare you ruin all that was good in your quest for more money!

Sorry. I assumed 'bootleg' automatically meant absolutely lame in terms of quality.
Yes, but we still don't know who is going to be Darth Vader, do we?
You get to see her in diapers...
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!
How about showing us a beowulf cluster of nude Natalie Portman overlords in Soviet Russia, you, insensitive clod?
I, for one, would welcome that. Despite the PG13 rating.
George L or George W ?
I would do that, but do you know what its like to convince these people that "No, there's not tiny little people hidden in the big box." or "No, I'm not your messiah", or "No, I don't taste good, please don't eat me?"
Yeah, I want Lucas to make me feel like I did when I was a kid. Anything less is a betrayal. Damn, I am going to end up watching this thing and end up feeling like some type of lame slashdot reading middle aged computer hack.
Mr. Lucas, YOU ARE FAILING YOUR FAN BASE!!!!
Because as Lucas moves closer to the source material, he has less wiggle-room to screw up the story.
This is the guy who reinterpreted "the greatest star pilot in the galaxy" to mean a seven year old kid who goes "yippie!" He doesn't have to stick to anything that he said in the previous films. He could quite easily decide that Luke is Anakin's clone, Amidala is Mon Mothma, and that Chewie is Jabba's son.
Les Miserables Volume 1 now up with my reading of
Sure, there were a few mistakes (Jar Jar)
And we haven't yet seen him in episodes 4-6, have we? In fact there's not a single representative of his race to be found anywhere.
That must by why Episode 3 is going to get a PG-13 rating -- due to the scenes of the entire Gungan civilization getting demolished, disemboweled, and defenestrated in graphic detail.
BEST. STARWARS. MOVIE. EVER.
After reports of negative expectations of the third installment, George was quoted as saying: ... shame on you. It fool me. We can't get fooled again"
"Fool me once, shame on
the lure of the forbidden is similar to the lure of the Dark Side of the Force.

I'm glad Slashdot warned me not to watch OC tonight!
"Derp de derp."
Jawas without cloaks!
Hot Tusken on Tusken raiding!
Watch as Mon Mothma shows Ackbar her trap!
See Han's solo action! (He shoots first!)
Steamy TK42 1 on 1 action!
See Luke "bullseye" those wamp rats back on the farm!
Find out which Jedi really has the biggest saber!
Slave girls drunk on Qui Gon Jin!
And yes finally Amidala with hot grits!
Sometimes my arms bend back.
I'm watching the OC now, and damn Lucas straight to his lava planet hell for this.
I suspect Jar-Jar.
If corporations are people, aren't stockholders guilty of slavery?
Darth Binks?
Here's your $4. Wanna buy a DVD set?
Nah, it was just a joke. Anyone who's been on Slashdot a while probably remembers the "Trinity Dies" spoilers that were popular when the Matrix movies were still coming out.
I'm sure Padme is just fine at the end of Ep III.
If this movie is PG-13, it means that they are allowed to use the word "fuck" once. Given that, the best use, I think would be Mace Windu delivering the following line: "Galactic Basic, motherfucker, do you speak it?!"

From a whiney annoying little kid, to a whiney annoying angst-full teen, to a bad-ass jedi killing cyborg...
Wait a second? Vader is actually an *improvement* over anakin, after watching the first two episodes, it'd be preferable if he was just killed outright! Not to save the jedi from extinction, but just to put the viewer out of his misery.
At the end of ROTJ you feel bad for luke, and his dad, a supposedly nice guy who fell to the dark side. Now that you see the truth, you still feel bad for luke, but this time because his dad was a total loser, and that he didn't kill him sooner!
Anyone who has seen the spoof trailer for Episode III, knows the truth of the above.

The high quality trailer is already available for download. It seems as though Lucas has had to switch actors, though. Of course, that can only be a good thing.:)
Is this a sigs-optional kind of place? 'Cause I am totally down with that if you know what I mean.
