Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the a-long-time-ago-in-sunny-california dept.

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.

  1. IV through VI were before the PG-13 era by tepples · · Score: 5, Informative

    The PG-13® film rating did not exist when the first three Star Wars movies (Episodes IV through VI) came out. Return of the Jedi (Ep VI) came out in 1983; PG-13 didn't start until July 1984, apparently because Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was right smack between PG and R. In fact, some believe that The Empire Strikes Back (Ep V) could have been PG-13 had that rating existed.

    The trailer is viewable on my blog. Yeah, it's a bootleg. No, I don't give a damn about movie piracy.

  3. George Lucas on 60 Minutes this week by geoff313 · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those of you who don't want to tune into the OC but want your Star Wars fix this week, I just noticed this over at starwars.com:

    Tune in to "60 Minutes" Sunday, March 13 on CBS for a special in-depth interview with George Lucas. The show previously profiled Lucas in 1999 during the release of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace to document the beginning of the prequels. Now that Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith heads into the final stages of post-production, "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl returns to Skywalker Ranch to chat with Lucas about his family, his technological innovations and his plans after Episode III.........

    Mary Shelley re-wrote Frankenstein in a smiliar way as GL. In books, this was an especially common practice. Iit is different in books because GL is preventing modern distribution of the old version, but Shelley did the same thing after she updated her text. It wasn't until after her death that the original version became available. The only reason that was even possible is becasue of the lax copyright laws on old texts.
