says it all
there is no point in argueing.
if GL has to cut the film up to bring it to PG,
he will, unfortunately. however, the MPAA have been
surprisingly lenient with GL, so the darkness may survive
the cutting room.
its not what i want.
the rating is irrelivant.
it WILL be PG, trust me on this.
GL will NOT loose a chunk of his audience to a rating.
lets just hope the MPAA is willing to turn a blind eye...
I think it is going to be pg-13 because the movie is going to be so intense and darker during the lightsaber scenes plus when anakin gets burned by the lava for now may force be with you.
I think Lucas may just let PG-13 happen this time, because he's gotta know that he can't make the lava scenes look too fake or else everyone will hate the movie and it'll ruin the transformation of Vader, thereby ruining the whole saga. This is the last time around, and he's all about his "true vision"...I'm sure when he pictured Anakin's skin melting off he didn't picture the camera facing the floor lol.

I'm hoping for the pg-13, but PVS is right on the money.
Lucas is something of a flannel wearing toy maker, even more than a filmaker.
I know he'll edit it skillfully, though. He'd chop the movie up if he has to, but he wont.
LOTR is pg-13, and has "epic battle violence./scary images"
StarWars has"sci-fi/fantasy violence"
Dont jump on me about maul's red spurt, because for the most part, there is no blood. Lightsabers and laser guns arent graphic enough for the pg-13. It's a flash of color, then the actor falls down.
Now, think about ep4,a whole sh*t load of people are shot point blank in the chest.
In ep1, quigon was run through the torso with a saber, maul was cut in half, in ep2, zam wessel and ani lost arms, and Jango lost his fargin' head.(with a good edit too, I watched it in slowmo and before the helmet hits the ground, already empty, there are a few frames of the shadow of the helmet in the air, and you see the shadow of the head leave the helmet. Good job gl)the difference is that all the stuff of ep4,1, and 2 will be combined into 3, but I think he'll get away with it.
My only question is about crispy(confirmed)anakin...
im thinkin pg-13 is equivilent to a M15+ here. even if ROTS is PG-13/M15+ kids would still be able to watch it. i doubt the ticketlady/man would stop a kid from watching Star Wars that would be just cruel. like some1 mentioned earlier LOTR was Pg-13/M15+ and a whole sh!itload of kids watch them.
