Episode III: PG or PG-13?
What will it be rated? I'm thinking PG-13... I read in Insider that there's a topless scene, for some reason I don't think that'll pass under PG. Plus, the third Indiana Jones was PG-13, the others were PG, and that didn't stop it from being as successful, did it? It won't be rated R, for one thing. That would completely kill any hope of a profit. It can't jump from PG to R, I heard that on a few boards. It just can't and won't happen.
ok, the topless scene is hayden. and at this point, george has some powerful friends and is a powerful man himself. all the other films were at least a pg-13, especially empire. George could probably put Jay and Silent Bob banging padme in the movie and still get a PG rating.

When raiders of the lost ark came out, there was no such thing as PG-13. It wasnt violent enough to be R, so it got the PG rating. Now there is a PG-13, but there are movies out that are PG now, that would have been PG-13 years ago, and movies that are PG-13 now, that would have ben R a few years ago. GL will have no trouble editing the movie to get a PG rating.
actually, statistically PG13 movies gross higher than the PG fair

The movie will definately have a PG-13 rating due to the thematic elements/violence. Episode 2's scene with Anakin getting his arm chopped off ALMOST got the film a PG-13 rating. True, George Lucas has a lot of influence in Hollywood, just not with the right people. He has alienated himself from the people that truly matter in the political machine. This is why none of his films get nominated for prestigious awards. You've gotta admire a guy who refuses to play the game and is still as successful as he is.
I completely disagree. Every Star Wars film has been PG, and it's not going to change with EIII. As dark as it will be, the chapter is part of a story geared towards children as Lucas has said numerous times. He has enough influence to slip it through as a PG, and failing that, he'll edit it down to acheive that rating.
didn't he, spielberg, harrison ford, and carrie fisher stand up and aplaud michael moore last year? that would've been awesome

Except Michael Moore would be on Palpatine's side since he is pure evil. Like a GOP Senator once said, "Don't kill all the Liberals. Keep 2 on every campus as a living fossil so we'll always remember what they stood for."
