Revenge of the Sith a "Blood Bath"

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yes-please-make-it-true dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The BBC is reporting that the Revenge of the Sith is a blood bath and is to recieve a PG-13. One notable point from the article is Lucas is quoted as saying "But I have to tell a story. I'm not making these, oddly enough, to be giant, successful blockbusters. I'm making them because I'm telling a story, and I have to tell the story I intended." As he lit a cigar with a large stack of burning 20's."

  1. No Suprise by kpwoodr · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Does this suprise anyone? We all know the story already. Darth Vader doesn't become Darth Vader with out some serious action. A clone army is not going to win a war with out a large loss of life. Yoda is not going to just leave the hot zone to live on some God forsaken swamp planet because a few people died. We've all know that it would take thousands and thousands of dead clones and mutilated Jedi.

    On top of that, it has to be so bloody that we all lose hope. Otherwise, why would there be a "New" hope?

    Rise Lord Vader!

    "But I have to tell a story. I'm not making these, oddly enough, to be giant, successful blockbusters."

    Unfortunately, Luca is not a good story teller. He is great at effects and the details that bring a vision to life. He really needed Spielberg.

    Adn let's not forget that PG-13 came into being because of Lucas and Speilberg's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Here's a history of the ratings system from Answers.com.
