Lucas Urges Parents To Leave Small Kids Behind for Next 'Star Wars'

Something I almost forgot to mention - You can see the new episodes at StarWars.com too........

If you're a Hyperspace member (I'm not) you can see them in a larger size.

And I caught the last episode on Toonami today...... Aaaaargh! It's aaaaall over! (until May 19 ) The final 5 episodes were really good and set the scene well for Episode III.

Thanks for the tip, I'm happy with watching them in small, I've never seen any of them anyway

I found that the latest Clone Wars cartoons were pretty good, although the Anakin storyline was a bit strange at the end there...

I prepared myself by watching the new DVD of the first Clone Wars eps and then watched the new ones. Pretty good stuff!

My little 5 year old daughter now wants a Gen. Grievous Clone Wars figure!!!

Vader is such the villian, such the evil character, that to tell his origins in a compelling manner the storytelling might not be suitable for younger eyes. And, to tell the story properly, he may be willing to sacrifice his pre-teen audience.

But he won't, and isn't, and knows it. Most parents are likely to take their kids to see it - particularly if they've already seen the previous five movies.

The originating philosophies behind the two (E3 and nuBSG) are so different, anyway, you're not bringing a legitimate comparison to the table.

I intend to see Mr. Lucas' movie, particularly since it will probably be the last of the Star Wars movies. I've seen all five prior movies; at least he tries to keep it in the same universe.

I agree Dawg but I seriously hope that the parents will take Lucas's advice in some ways. When my brother and I saw ATOC there was a group of parents that came in with kids and quite a few were under 8 and they were kind of disruptive. small kids and movies such as this do not mix!
