The answer is no becuase there are still alot of young kids that see PG-13 movies. Look at Lord of the Rings, it still made well over 350 million.
No, GL said it MAY be pg-13. I certain hope it stays PG. All 5 other Star Wars movies were PG, he should stick with that. Who cares what the matrix and lotr did? This is Star Wars and it should stay PG.
Think of all the violent things that can happen in a PG Star Wars movie:
Ep IV:
1. intense sci-fi warfare
2. smoldering bodies of small, broken aliens
3. smoking skeltons of loved ones
4. alien arm cut off w/ blood
6. alien killed in cold blood (pre-special edition)
7. character bonks head on door 馃檪
8. violent vehicle explosions
Ep V:
1. intense sci-fi warfare
2. monster attack & severed limb
3. decapitation in dreamlike sequence
4. torture scene w/sparks & screaming
5. two on-screen strangulations
6. brutal swordfight & severed limb
7. terrifying fall & precipice scene
Ep VI:
1. intense sci-fi warfare
2. monster decapitation, devouring & death
3. second monster devours aliens & humans
4. alien strangulation scene
5. multiple violent speed-related human deaths
6. humans shot in head & chest
7. sword fight with severed limb
8. electrocution scene
9. human thrown to death
10. injured man reveal disfiguring war wounds & dies
Ep. I:
1. intense sci-fi warfare
2. friendly space ship explosion w/multiple deaths
3. monster decapitation, devouring & death
4. multiple violent speed-related race deaths
5. intense battlefield mayhem
6. main character sword impalement & death
7. main character cut in two, and precipice fall
8. burning human funeral pyre
Ep II:
1. intense sci-fi warfare
2. friendly space ship explosion w/multiple deaths
3. multiple-vehicle speed-related accidents
4. sword fight with severed limb & blow-dart death
5. baby humans entombed in vials
6. intense sci-fi action
7. character bonks head on door 馃檪
8. maternal death scene
9. alien decapitations & spoken slaughter
10. monster torture arena scenes & alien deaths
11. intense battlefield mayhem
12. human decapitation & body falling to ground
13. more intense battlefield mayhem
14. sword fights with multiple injuries, electrocution & severed limb
If all this can go in a PG movie, let's keep it PG! The more violence in lotr & matrix the less I liked it, it became very repetitive. Let's keep it PG!
