Revenge of the Sith Officially Rated PG-13
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.
I can imagine it now. Darth Vader ripping that demon Jamaican dinosaur Wino from limb to limb. With each limb being severed, hearing the beast shouting out, "Meesa in Pain! Meesa in Pain!" Vader points his finger, and throws the battered, lifeless carcass against the wall.
"Only two there are," says Yoda, "a master and an apprentice. Killed, Palpatine's apprentice, Vader did he!"
Along with Jar Jar, in the abyss, floats the souls of Saddam Hussein, Oprah, Geraldo Rivera, Dick Clark and New Kids on the Block. Jar Jar shall be reborn in another realm. In a galaxy far far away from the one he was in, way in the future.
That backwards asshat dinosaur is scheduled to come back, Jesus style. Only next time, it'll be rated R. Be afraid... be very afraid...
Now that is why this Star Wars is PG-13. Sleep tight kiddies...

I hope it's not a rating for only violence inte film, but because of nude scenes with Natalie Portman!
This time the rating's meaning is a bit different than usual. No one over the age of 13 should attend.
The wookies are naked, does that make it PG-13?
just zip down to the Grauman's Chinese Theater and tell these folks?
Lucas needs to hand over the reins to someone with a clue.
What, for the next episode?
and decided collectively that only if you're old enough you are allowed to be stupid enough to pay.
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
This announcement does corroborate with the rumours that Ep. III consists entirely of Lucas squatting out an angry, sweaty dump on in front of a blue screen while screaming insults at the fans.
I'm still going to pay to see it.

I dont think the FCC has jurisdiction over film ratings.. although im sure they'd love to!
You can't have prejudice against violence - that would mean being anti-gun and you can't have that! sex on the other hand serves no purpose other than brushing with someone elses toothbrush or something, condoms have holes in them and homosexuality is the devils work.

1. The Sith. We don't mind when they cut Jedi in half, but in "Revenge" they sure do curse a lot.
2. Midichlorians. These imply evolution, which is only a hypothesis and not suitable for young minds.
3. Rampant drug use in Mos Eisley scenes. What exactly are they smoking?
4. Adult theme. Taxes, embargoes, and senate politics are totally inappropriate for children. And for space movies.
5. Jar-Jar dies a horrible death, yeaaasay-ee-sir. Finally listened to your fans, yes?
6. Amidala wears even less than Leia's metal bikini. May the Force be with you!

Gives a whole new meaning to ``don't think, feel''.

I'm surprised this film's PG-13,
Strangest thing I've ever seen,
Because other than the toddlers,
Or those with Alzheimers,
It's junk for everyone else in between.
C'mon! We've all seen the trailers. There are hoards and hoards of Wookies in battle.
Considering that Ripping Arms out of sockets wouldn't be PG-13, that must mean the Wookies win, 'cos everyone knows Droids don't Rip peoples arms out of their sockets when they loose. Wookies are known to do that...
I'm hoping the BBFC bans it totally as a known cause of brain rot.

Well, that's good - now we know exactly what rating "scenes of dropping someone in a flaming pit of lava" gets you.
"Stupid! Stupid stupid stupid stupid! I touched the hot wire right there - I'm an idiot!"
I've heard that its rated PG-13 because they will show the full birthing scene of luke and leia from the viewpoint of the ob-gyn.
Once the fanboys see a full-on birth, that will make them just that much more scared of girls and sex.
I'm still going to pay to see it
Of course you will. He'll be wiping his ass with the money you paid for the ticket.
Well thanks a ton, now I've got a stupid mental image of Ani going, "I'm Bat...errr...Darth Vader."
Hmm, maybe "Darth and the Giant Peach-Shaped Death Star" will be next?
--- I wish I could hear the soundtrack to my life. That way I'd know when to duck.
Why on earth are you calling it a "Space Opera". Call the movie a motion picture if you must, but not a "Space Opera" . It's got nothing to do with the musical art of opera and making a false association won't help the chances of this movie being a success.
Well, if you want to be a pedant like that, it doesn't feature George Lucas taking a dump either, so they can't call it a "motion" picture, can they?
there are at least 5 bad ass lightsabers fights I can think of, 4 of which involve someone dying, off the top of my head
I for one will pay to see these battles on the top of your head
it's got a higher rating because of all the swearing a cursing the audience will be shouting out in disgust as they watch the movie.
What about Soap Operas? Not much singing in them either. I think it more refers to the drama aspect.
Today's troll education moment brought to you by the letter "L" for Loser. Remember kids, only losers troll.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
You can rip out a persons spine so-long as
...You alien bast*rd ,Ill see you in Hell aghhhh" ..ugh i am dying .. possible universal question of what is next agh"
1: They do not swear when your doing it
2: You dont see any skin associated with the lower back / chest/crotch
3: They do not say "Save me *deity or scientific theory*"
4: The person does not make any racial or gender related comments
so basicaly when you have the guys spine ripped out the script should be changed from
" aghhhh sh*t
to a much more demographicaly freindly
"Oh fiddle-dee-dee , I am upset with you species of unkown origion
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
Roses are red

toddlers doesn't exactly rhyme with alzheimers
but who says good poetry has to rhyme?
have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
I have I've been hunted and wanted in the exterminated sense.
Seismic mines for my jedi mind. Look at the times. Sick is the mind of the sentator that's behind
all this conflict destructive. enough is too much as planets explodin'. Tempers flaring with Windu.
Just blow him off and keep goin' not taking nothin from no-one.
Giving help long after not breathin'.
keep kickin ass in the morning, an' taking names in the evening
leavingm with a taste as sour as Dagobah in their mouth.
See they can trigger me but they can never figure me out look at me now, I betya probably sick of me now.
Aint you Yoda? Ima make you look so ridiculous now
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
Verse 2
you got a skeleton in a cave I don't know if anyone knows it.
But before they throw my robes out of an airlock and close it
I'ma expose it.
I'll take you back a hundred years or three before I ever had an Artoo-Dee
Too. met this slave boy, must have been a few cycles old.
Owned by Watto who didn't want him sold.
He's the shit. I mean that boy could really fly.
I guess that's because he's the livin' breathin force that's why.
I look at Anni and I couldn't picture leaving his side.
Even if he was full of fear, I'd grit my teeth and I'd try
to make it work with him at least for Qui-gon's sake.
Maybe I made some mistakes, but I'm only human. And I'm jedi enough to try to will them away.
What I did was reckless, no doubt that it was dumb.
But the smartest shit I ever did was learn to chop off arms. cuz he'd a killed us.
Shit, he would have shot Luke an me both. It's my life, far far away, a long long time ago.
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
Verse 3
now I would never diss my own master
just to get some recognition, maybe Qui-gon might,
because he wouldn't listen and he was always dissin'.
But put yourself in my position.
Just try to envision witnessin' yo master struggle
with simple levitation, bitchin' that "against us the force is"
and our archives have somethin' missin'.
Goin' through all the star systems, victim of force-unbalanced syndrome.
My whole life I was made to believe that I was strong when I wasn't. Until I grew up,
now I blew up.
It makes you sick to your stomach.
Doesn't it?
wasn't that the reason you made that knighthood for me, Da?
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, Da? Utinni!
You're gettin older and it's cold when you're squattin'.
An Luke's gettin up so quick, he's gonna go,
you can't hold him. And Anni's getting so big now,
you should see him, he's a sith lord.
But you never see him. He won't even be at your funeral.
See what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong. Go disappear. Keep telling yourself that you was master here.
But how dare you try to blame me for what you helped to set up. E chu ta!
I hope you get eaten by the Sarlac for that. Remember when Darth Maul died and you sorta wished it was me?
Well, guess what, I AM dead - more powerful than you could forsee!
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I said, I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.

Better than the PG70 rating that the Uptown in DC has listed for Sin City...
