Star Wars III is PG-13

[martok2112]

Well, I guess that it's official. Seeing a trailer tonight on TV, (quite a cool one, btw), and the rating for Star Wars Episode III, Revenge of the Sith is PG-13. I expect this movie TO ROCK!!!!!!

Folks, let's pray that Lucas got it right this time. :)
Respectfully,
Martok2112

[Ian_W359]

Over here in the UK, the BBFC have given Revenge of the Sith a '12A' rating (12A - No one younger than 12 can be admitted unless accompanied by an adult). They have also given the following advice (probably to be used in the advertising - "Contains moderate fantasy violence and scary scenes").

Ian W359

[TopGun]

Hell Yeah, this will ROCK

I remember that they 12A came about because of Spider-Man I, where loads of kids couldn't see and their parents complained about it

[ernie90125]

The use of the letter 'A' is something that I find poorly thought out.

A few times before when I have gone into the cinema, there have been kids at the door asking which movie people are going in to. If it is the one they want, they will ask to go in with you. That is because 'accompanied' doesn't mean 'accompanied by a parent, responsible adult, or that you have to even know the person'.

So children ask strangers to take them into a darkened room, quite often for a lesser known film that darkened room won't be well populated.

It would seem to me that the BBFC have tried to protect kids from 'fantasy' violent scenes on film, whilst creating a situation where (kids being kids) run risks of 'real' violence or worse from absolute strangers.

[TopGun]

Never thought of it that way.

[jewels]

Ernie, that's quite a scary thought to a parent.

I'm glad it's going PG-13 here, at least it will keep folks from bringing too young of kids to it hopefully.

Jewels

[The 14th Colony]

I got my tickets!! Woo hoo! 12:01am, May 19th! My ex sweetheart, or whatever you want to call her in reference to what we had, has a friend who through a connection got him and her tickets to some charity screening on the 16th. I told her I was happy for her, but I'm really not. I'm jealous...bad me! LOL





Jewels, did you get my email, with our photos? Post 'em up! Show the world the magnicant...us. ;)

[ernie90125]

I am certainly going to see EpIII, however, I have patience for just one week(ish) more to wait until the crowds have passed then go and see it. I have been waiting for it for years already, I can wait another few days....

Jewels, I can understand that it is quite a scary though for a parent, however, thinking back to my childhood I am sure it would have been the first thing I would have done, and I'm not surprised that kids would think of it....

Besides, before age 12 I had watched far worse movies than a Star Wars movie, and seen far worse things in the playground...

[julix]

Ernie.....
I can't wait that long but can't go to the 12:01 show.....really hard to get a babysitter for midnight on a weekday..................But no way could a wait a week ;)

[Fragmentary]

I told her I was happy for her, but I'm really not. I'm jealous...bad me! LOL
:LOL: :cry: :LOL:
I feel you.

[TopGun]

I'm going to see it at 10:40, hopefully it wont be too crowded, it wasn't when I saw Attack of the Clones 3 years ago

[julix]

I am waiting for them to add a before 12:00 noon show...............we saw AOC at around 10:00.....................waiting........"stay on target, stay on target"

[TopGun]

I saw AOTC at about 17:00

[bsg1fan1975]

waiting till a few days after it comes out to see it then maybe the theaters won't be so jammed up tightly and I hope some parents do use common sense like Jewels said and leave the little kiddies at home!

[Charybdis]

I am going out of town that weekend and probably won't see it until Monday after the weekend, unless I can get to it on Friday night.

But, like others have said, I can wait for a few days. ONce it's all overwith, it really wont' matter anyway...

[julix]

That is crazy talk people :)


BTW .....my kiddies will be in school :salute:

[bsg1fan1975]

I can't stand in a line for hours, too hard on my feet, besides, out here it is cheaper to see it on a weekend!

Julix, you are a considerate person to have the kids in school while you see the movie!

bsg1fan -

I wait until the weekends too, but I usually buy my tickets on Fandango.com in advance so I don't have to stand in line to buy them and you can avoid "sold out syndrome" at the same time. It's 1.00 more per ticket, but worth it in the trouble saved...

Best,
Bryan

[TopGun]

I saw ATOC twice, once with some friends on the day it came out (a Wed/Thur I think) and then on the Saturday with my Brother and Sister. it was busier on the Saturday

I use the automated ATM ticket purchasing machines they have near the ticket windows. I don't know if most people don't know what they are or just don't like them, but there's never a wait at them and there's no service fee.

I don't know if they're new and haven't spread everywhere, but if you have them at your favorite theater, they rock.

[The 14th Colony]

:LOL: :cry: :LOL:
I feel you.
Thanks. The girl recently dumped me and broke my heart, and now she keeps getting things that make her happy. Grrrrr!

[bsg1fan1975]

that bites Ron!!!!!!!!!!!!!


My philosophy with movies are, if they come out on a weeknight, wait till the weekend to go as it is cheaper and less crowds! Or I wait till they come out on dvd!

I'm not sure I agree with you there. The weekends are the busier times because of so many people being off work. When Star Wars I was scheduled to open on the Friday of Memorial Day Weekend, they moved it back to Wendsday to enable more people to see before the weekend crowds filled the theatres.


Thanks about the "bites" statement. :)

[bsg1fan1975]

around here there isn't much of a crowd on a weekend for a summer movie, as people have various plans.

[cranky1c]

My 6yo has been soaking up the buzz about Ep III, but with the PG13 rating I'm having second thoughts about taking him.

[bsg1fan1975]

cranky, I probably would be doing the same thing if it was me.

[Rowan]

Maybe just see it for yourself first and see if it's something you are comfortable letting him see.

[cranky1c]

That's a good thought. My wife has heard similar stories so we're starting to talk about it. I never go to an opening week show of these big blockbusters, too much of a crowd, so we still have time. I may listen through the school grapevine for what other parents think too.

In the mean time my son's content to challenge me to duels with our toy light sabers. He acts like Yoda and tells me I'm Darth Vader.

The Oedipal implications of this are pretty amusing :LOL: ....

(BTW the new helmets rock)

[ernie90125]

Oedipal implications

eh ? What does this mean. Please forgive an ignorant young man !

When I was a kid, my father would watch a film them make the decision himself. Or in one case, go to a local rock concert to see how the crowd outside was behaving then ask mum to bring me (then 6 years old) along.

Interestingly though, my father was more liberal that my mother because he was a fan of such things himself (concerts and sci-fi) I wonder if being a fan will make it more likely for a parent to consider it ok for a child to see ?

When Chris' cousin (an 11 year old boy) came to visit us I had fun with him when we were camping. It was so dark outside we used flash lights (we made the beams tight) and we played a long time both taking turns at dying glorious deaths LOL! :D ;)

The Oedipal implications of this are pretty amusing :LOL: .... LOL Cranky ;) :D

(BTW the new helmets rock)
You know always before I have avoided the big crowds and waited till things have calmed down but this time I want to be a part of the excitement, feel and share the energy of the crowd. I'm in the mood for sharing that this time :D

[Dawg]

Since this will probably be the last Star Wars movie, I'm feeling very much the same way.

But I'll probably still go to the first showing Sunday morning rather than the 1st night. This Dawg's not fond of big crowds, most of the time. Unless they come to see me.

[cranky1c]

eh ? What does this mean. Please forgive an ignorant young man !

Not ignorant at all, just not steeped in arcane psych theory, there are far worse fates. ;)

In a small nutshell, in psychoanalytic developmental theory, children are thought to go through a stage where they begin to resent and challenge their same sex parent for the affection of their opposite sex parent. This is thought to manifest as giving the same sex parent a hard time for a while. The child is thought to eventually identify with the same sex parent which has implications for personality development. It's called the Oedipus complex because of the Greek play in which the character Oedipus unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother. Of all the critique directed at Freud's psychoanalytic theory, this part is a regular favorite. The joke was that my 6 year old casts me as the big bad jedi/sith while casting himself as the little jedi master, very much a fantasy with Oedipal overtones.

good explaination of the oedipal complex..........I have tried to explain it to hubby before and he always looks at me like..............."HUH"????? :wtf: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: I am going to the show before you it seems so I will give you feedback.........it is of course up to each parent to decide. But knowing what I do know about it, it may be best to wait to let him see it. Actually, the advice to see it first yourselves is the best, then you can decide.

[Fragmentary]

Let me just add this one little thing to the question of whether to let your kid see the movie or not. If they've watched and are fans of the other Star Wars movies, and you don't let them see this one. They will always remember that. You may not think something like that would carry on with a kid, but whether you ever find out about it or not, I assure you they will remember that for the rest of their lives.

That was funny about the Kid being freaket out by Lilo and Stitch (a Kids Movie).

I'm seeing the movie on the thursday with friends, and then I'll be taking my Little Brother and Sister (9 and 13 respectfully) during the weekend

Kids have access to far worse movies than Star Wars anyway

[ernie90125]

"I think the burning scene alone is what gave this film the PG-13 rating."

The aboce quote was taken from the news article I linked to. If the author is right that this scene was one of the makor reasons that it was given a PG13 (or here in the UK PG12A) then why didn't they cut this one scene ?

I think there are plenty of ways to get accross what has happened without causing the BBFC to give it a rating that would loose many of your younger customer fanbase.... I am surprised this was left it.

I know how I would feel if I were a kid who was a big Star Wars Fan and couldn't see the new movie.

Yes, I too know how it would feel....not very nice....especially when I would be being relentlessly marketed to by dozens of toys, brands and offers.

It was this same argument over Spiderman that lead to the introduction of the 12A rule here in the UK. Yet this has done nothing to solve the problem....

But since I am over 12 I suppose it doesn't matter for me :)

[TopGun]

Me neither. When they created the 12a rule, they re-issued Siderman, as it had finished when the rule came about.

[tracyb144]

I know how I would feel if I were a kid who was a big Star Wars Fan and couldn't see the new movie.

That's my situation at the mo. I have a 13 year old son and a 10 year old daughter who are Star Wars fanatics and I can't imagine taking my son and NOT my daughter. It would crush her.
The pissy thing is, I am DYING to see this movie on the big screen ( I waited for the DVD's for epis 1 and 2 ) so I don't know what to do. :(

[ernie90125]

Yracy, you could go and see it yourself and make your own mind up if it is suitable....

Or, read the advice from others who have seen the film. Check the link I posted above.

Or is your problem that the cinema won't allow your daughter into the movie ?

Ernie,
I think I'll take your advice and wait for a few comments from people who go to see it right off the hop. The theater will allow my daughter in, it's just that as her Mum is it a movie I really want to take her to see ( on the big screen things are much scarier ) that's over an hour away ( I live out in the boondocks ) and wait in line forever for a film that might scare the pants off her?
I dunno if the kids would take kindly to me seeing it first and not take them. There could be a revolt in my house ;)

Cool........you got your ticket eh? I am a mere 48 hours away :)

[Fragmentary]

So, with all this excitement around here for the new movie, what were you guys' opinions of the last two. I have several friends who were so dissappointed that they aren't looking forward to ROTS at all.

I really didn't care for TPM myself. Like most everbody else I thought it lacked most of the charm of the original trilogy. Looking back at it, I understand better what Lucas was going for and appreciate that he was creating a movie targeted at kids the age of young Anakin. But as someone who grew up on Star Wars, I selfishly felt like the movies should be targeted at me.

But I really enjoyed AOTC. It seemed to be much broader and enjoyable for a wider range of viewers. There was still the silly antics for kids, but there was also a much darker element for adults to follow. Assuming that what Lucas says is true and ROTS follows that same arc, then this movie should be the most interesting for us who grew up on Star Wars but aren't kids anymore.

[TopGun]

Yeah AOTC is a lot lot better than TPM, but as good as the OT.

[martok2112]

I thought Phantom Menace was alright, but it felt more like a footnote than an actual episode of the movie series.

Darth Maul was a character that they should have kept around up until ROTS. I am also one of the few who actually likes Jar Jar Binks. Personally, I would LOVE to see SW fans that hate him, get riled by keeping him alive in ROTS....or at least keeping his fate unknown. :D (But, if he gets bumped off, I ain't gonna cry over it.)

Attack of the Clones I thought was a much better movie...especially in terms of sheer action. The ground battle on Geonosis was incredible. The lightsaber battle between Yoda and Dooku was worth the price of admission, but it should've been a little longer. Oh well....at least we'll get to see Kermit's father in another lightsaber battle in ROTS. And Natalie Portman has one sexy l'il bottom. :devil:

I liked jar Jar too, but not the very first time I saw him.....i thought it was a bit distracting. But after the first time it was fine and I really saw where George was going with it. I just watched it again sunday night and i have to say......i like it. I am very excited about Epi III

[TopGun]

for anyone in the UK, TPM is on ITV1 on Saturday

[Haveke]

I thought Phantom Menace was alright, but it felt more like a footnote than an actual episode of the movie series.

Darth Maul was a character that they should have kept around up until ROTS. I am also one of the few who actually likes Jar Jar Binks. Personally, I would LOVE to see SW fans that hate him, get riled by keeping him alive in ROTS....or at least keeping his fate unknown. :D (But, if he gets bumped off, I ain't gonna cry over it.)

Attack of the Clones I thought was a much better movie...especially in terms of sheer action. The ground battle on Geonosis was incredible. The lightsaber battle between Yoda and Dooku was worth the price of admission, but it should've been a little longer. Oh well....at least we'll get to see Kermit's father in another lightsaber battle in ROTS. And Natalie Portman has one sexy l'il bottom. :devil:

Yeah, I Like Good 'Ole Jar Jar Too!! ;)

Guess You Didn't Catch My Quote I Created For Jar Jar for ROTS :" Whaot Wuz Me Sa Tanking?! Voting to Give Palpatine Absolute POWER!!" :yikes: :wtf:

Looking Back Upon Phantom Menace, it Was Jar Jar that Had the "Proxy" Vote for Padmay... Voting In Favor Of Creating an Army of the Republic... :wtf:

Yes Indeed... I Believe He Farsaw His Death... That is One of the Force Powers "Farseeing" a Jedi Meditates, and Can See Glimpse of the Future: We First saw this in Empire Strikes Back... When Luke Saw the City in the Clouds (Bespin) .

I Thought it was rather Funny in Phantom Menace When Jar Jar Starts to almost Freak Out, Oui-Gon Places a Hand on His Shoulder... and Simply Says: "Relax"... Just Like that... Jar Jar is Out Cold... Obi-Wan's Reply to his Master was Just Too Much: "Master, I Think You Overdid it a Little". ;)

Well, I'm debating on whether I should try to go see Revenge of the Sith Tomorrow (Thursday), or wait Until Next Weekend & go With My Cousin. See, Back when we were Younger, we'd always go see a New Movie together; its Really More Fun when you go to see a Great Movie with Your Friends. :thumbsup: ;)

I Think Maybe I'll go give it a Screening... and then go see it again. Yes, thats What I Will Do!! :)

Cool Sis.............. :) Is Matt going with You?

[julix]

I have got 27 hours to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WooHoo :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


Haveke,
I think you are right Qui-Gon forsaw his death. Even when Anakin says "Jedi can't die" and Qui-Gon says "I wish that were so" I think it was interesting on both of their parts.

We watch AOTC last night to be fully ready for III and it was fun..........I pick up some more little tidbits(every time I watch SW movies) I loved Obi-Wan in this movie......he had some great little comedy lines esp "Anakin, why do I feel you are going to be the death of me"........whoa.

Well I saw it last night at the midnight sesson. All I can say is fan-fracking-tastic :D. Great linking movie with enough of the original feel to make it truely Star Wars. Sure it has its minor problems but overall George finally got back to the magic.

Tanky, I would've been there with you at the Midnight Show, but was having Problems with my X-Wing...(Actually my R2 Unit Drank an Entire Case of Oil & I Couldn't Get him aboard) :)

I'm gonna Grab a Matinee Showing Tomorrow.

My Cousin Always Comes Over to my House to Eat his Lunch, and Watch TV Until time for him to go back to work.. Well He Pulled something out of his shirt pocket & said "Here you go"... it was a Lightsabre Spoon from out of a Box of Kelloggs Breakfast Cerel... Pretty Cool!! :coolangel: You Press & Hold Down the Button & it lights up the Little plastic handle of the Spoon (the Spoon is Clear) kinda gives you a New way to Look at Eating Breakfast. :coolangel:

Once again I Make this Statement: "You can't take Obi-Wan into a Bar without him slicing off someone's Arm" :) :wtf: :salute:

Several Years Ago, I picked up a Book Called the Art of Star Wars. I was watching earlier on Discovery Channel: George Lucas was discussing that Same Art. It had Rough Drawings, on up to the Orginal Scene Concepts...Also, I Have the Weapons of Star Wars Book too... Shows Very Detailed Drawing Blueprint of Darth Maul's Famous Double-Ended Lightsabre. (Before Obi-wan Sliced it up) ;) :) :thumbsup:

I saw on the early morning news that one woman paid $200 for 4 tickets. That to me is nuts!

Did anyone else get chills down their spine at the "Order 66" sequence? That bit is the best scene/sequence in Star Wars history IMHO.

Back in 1977 When Star Wars: Episode IV A NEW HOPE came out... I believe I saw it 16 Times that Summer... I Remember it was in the Theatre all that Summer, and Well into the Start of the Next Scool Year. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

By Far, I Must Agree That Revenge of the Sith is the Best Star Wars Movie Ever. :salute: :thumbsup: :wtf: :yikes:

Technology has Finally Caught up with George Lucas... Creating the Beginning is somewhat Challenging, But He Managed to Pull it off Once Again! :thumbsup:

To this I Say He Deserves :milk: & :cookie: :cookie: :cookie:

Now, Back in '77... the price of Movie Tickets Were Real Cheap... My Sister & Could Take Glass Coke Bottle Down to the Local Gas Station, and Get 10 cents a bottle... Collect enough for about $5.00 & we could see a Movie & Buy Snacks & Soda at the Snack Bar. ;)

Oh for the Good 'Ole Days... :)

Yeah, I was almost in tears during that sequence. We knew it was coming, but OMG I wasn't ready for that

[martok2112]

Might wanna preface with SPOILERS!!!! :D

Yes, the way that the order was particularly given had a rather ominous tone to it, and just one six shy of sending an even BIGGER chill up my spine.

I never thought of it that way

[Ian_W359]

I'm gonna go and see Ep. III on Sunday afternoon - I haven't decided where yet, I would have hoped to see it digitally projected (I watched AOTC digitally at the VUE Star City cinema, east of Birmingham - it really made a difference, but unfortunately it seems that they no longer have a digital projector... :( )

But it sounds like it's gonna be one helluva ride!
