Revenge of the Sith Officially Rated PG-13

Posted by Zonk on from the power-of-the-dark-side dept.

Bobert@flixnjoystix.com writes "On May 19th, fans of all ages will see the final installment of the Star Wars saga with Revenge of the Sith. However, for the first time ever a Star Wars film will be officially rated PG-13. Over the weekend the Daily Herald newspaper confirmed that George Lucas' conclusion to his nearly 30 year epic Space Opera received a PG-13 rating from the Motion Picture Association of America. The MPAA is expected to release an official statement or press release sometime this week." This confirms the rumor we reported on back in March.

      nope it just means you are an immature kid whi get's his giggles out of hearing swear words and hope for 2X the violence of a kill bill movie.

      then you went off giggling like a child hoping to see some boobies...

      PG-13 is the new R-rating. R has become the new NC-17. Hollywood knows no limits to its sleaze-factor. They couldn't even resist working insipid sex jokes, that had nothing to do with plot or character, into Miss Congeniality and its sequel.

      For Star Wars to get a PG-13 it means there's either a sex scene or intense violence. I certainly hope it would be the latter, but I don't trust Lucas' judgement these days, if the previous two "episodes" are any indication.

    Star Wars sucks. Stop talking about boring scifi, there is real news to be discussed.
