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 hope it's not for violence

I hope it's not a rating for only violence inte film, but because of nude scenes with Natalie Portman!

Over an even shorter span the kiddie disclaimers have become so much more specific and pathetic.

For example: 'Contains scenes of peril'

Oh my fucking God, please not PERIL. God forbid some kid sees a fictional character in danger, that's just mentally damaging material right there.

What next? 'Contains a scene where Jimbo trips and falls on his face, thus causing certain amounts of pain and distress'? Take your Newspeaking, politically correct, mollycoddling garbage and shove it.

It could be worse:

'Contains scenes of perl'

Now that would be mentally damaging.

HOWEVER

[clambake]

This time the rating's meaning is a bit different than usual. No one over the age of 13 should attend.

Nudity

[IIDX]

The wookies are naked, does that make it PG-13?

Re:Nudity

[Frogbert]

No that was just a camio appearance by Robin Williams.

well. the censors watched ep 1 and 2

[gl4ss]

and decided collectively that only if you're old enough you are allowed to be stupid enough to pay.

Makes Sense...

[CleverNickedName]

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.

Expanded vocabulary

"Do or do not, there is no fucking try."

"Shit, it's a trap!"

"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get the hell out of here!"

poetry time

[aendeuryu]

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.

I've heard...

[Anonymous Coward]

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.

Re:Maybe it's pg-13 for sexuality? Maybe...

You can rip out a persons spine so-long as

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 ...You alien bast*rd ,Ill see you in Hell aghhhh"
to a much more demographicaly freindly
"Oh fiddle-dee-dee , I am upset with you species of unkown origion ..ugh i am dying .. possible universal question of what is next agh"
