......in regards to the topic at hand, in the first post the title says "R rating for the new star wars?".....so if Joe did edit it, wouldn't it say "Last edited by Joe @ whatever time" ??? I saw his thread saying "Star Wars right away....

Saw it last night.. really good.. but I would also push it towards R rating.. I imagine there was a lot of politics between the two camps in getting it to stay PG13 which was up from PG.
I actually cried at one part.. because I thought it was the most agonizing most horrific thing I'd ever seen in a movie. But then, I tend to get emotionally invested in characters played by good looking young men. Though, I've never cried at a movie before, now that I think of it.
Something I think the over-ten crowd (judging from my nephews and neices) can handle easily.. younger than that no way.

Frankly, I think it's not violent enough
I was somewhat disappointed. But I guess asking for a good movie is too much when Lucas directs.

" It just so happens that this "children's movie" has a scene where a guy gets his hands chopped off, a graphic decapitation, the wanton slaughter of children (the highlight of any movie), and the coolest scene in any space action movie starring (name deleted) getting his legs chopped off as his stumps catch fire while his face melts.Samala said:
Nice....
They are right, all that stuff ocurred except for "the wanton slaughter of children." that was implied. And oh, yeah, LOTS of hands get cut off. Seriously, 125g Joe, count em for me when you go see it!125gJoe said:
As to the R rating, coulda went either way, if it was rated R though, Id hope for gore. At least a little.
PG-13 is supposed to tell parents that the material contained in the movie may be inappropriate for children under thirteen. Responsible parents should be able to know whether or not their kids can handle a PG-13 movie.
Its sounds like this movie isn't a whole lot more graphic than the original three. Lets not forget that in those movies Luke gets his hand chopped off, a guard and an innocent slave girl are eaten alive by that thing in Jabba's basement, numerous animals are killed and cute little Ewoks die in a fire fight.
Let's keepp the R ratings for movies that really show graphic content (like Saving Private Ryan) and for the rest lets just promise to do a little bit of parenting.

Let's not forget that the real debate (i.e., the one within the MPAA) was whether to give it a PG13 or a PG. It's not even close to an R. As tomm10 said, there's really not much gore at all. In fact, that's the good thing about lasers and light sabers--instantly cauterized wounds
