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!

      One thing's for sure, he's right about it being a tragedy.

      I had lost almost all my hope for this one...

      Sounds like you need A New Hope.

    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.

    How well did that logic work for you after Episode I?

    It's called maturing. It's a good thing, really. Adds perspective.

  10. Ugh! Can Lucas destroy Episode VI any further? by dasunt · · Score: 5, Funny

    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!

    I thought SW was cool when I was a kid

    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!!!!

    Yeah, it's a bootleg. No, I don't give a damn about movie piracy.

    That's ok... we don't care about your hosting server either...
