Producer says ROTS WILL be PG-13!!!

In the new issue of Entertainment Weekley (#802, January 21, 2005), a section dedicated to the must-see 2005 movies includes Revenge of the Sith.

Rick McCallum was interviewed and commented "for those fans who are upset seeing an 8-year-old boy play the role of dark Anakin/Vader, they will soon be relieved."

Also, McCallum stated that he thinks the movie will get a "PG-13 Rating with sufficient warnings". "There won't be blood but there's a lot of interesting stuff."

McCallum did not say anything about Anakin's lava bath but merely replied, "I don't know what website you're reading."

Score!! 😱

there's a lot of "thinks" it'll be pg-13...I still don't buy it...we'll have to wait and see.

I think by now is basically accepted that ROTS will be PG 13. Lucas pretty much said it in VF and now McCallum. Pretty much sounds like a done deal.

Ah damn, I figured it was gonna end up being PG. Well I am gonna go down with the ship... I still say it will be PG..... In time, I will realize the error in my ways, I assure you.

So what?

Good. They all should've been PG-13 from the beginning.

^ Agreed.

I still wonder how on Earth (over here in the UK that is) how Empire Strikes Back still has a rating of "U" which very few actiony-adventury titles get.

What kind of rating is an U? Unknown?

it means it's suitable for kids of all ages (even the very young ones). To give you an idea Disney stuff usually gets this rating.

Wayne...

WTF is all that about an 8 year old boy playing dark anakin?

WTF??

No blood...but i thought Ani gets owned

Interesting bit of info. This lets me know that there may be much more of the mature themes/interactions I've been expecting.

In the UK there are no other movies which show decapitation, dismemberment and disembowellment that get a U certificate. Only the Star Wars movies have ever achieved that.

I think it was pretty much a given that this one would be PG-13.

in UK that might mean its a 12!!! 😱 no more annoying kiddies crying!!!!

@The Ones: I hear you...!! All the way through Attack of the Clones,
I was trapped behind This 16 or so old with his younger brother or something who must've been like 6 (Presumably) who seemed to want an explaination for EVERY little thing that occurred throughout and then his friend/guardian deemed to raise his voice ABOVE the volume of the movie to indulge in full conversation... And then at the Shmi-death-scene ridicule and laughter was what I had intruding on that otherwise pivotal and emotional scene.. I wanted to move but the place was PACKED and there was nowhere to move to...
After clearing my throat loudly as a hint on several occasions to no avail,
(Backing it up with a "Do you mind...?"😉 I got so sick of it that I told him and his little pal that I'd read the script Synopsis and I'd have to tell him the outcome and ruin it for him... Which believe it or not at least shut up the older one..... All this was at a late-night-showing that ended at 12:30am....! Unbelieveable that this was allowed to happen...
Even if it was "Bambi" showing, I'd be like"What is this little 5-6 yr old doing here....??? Day showings, you kind of expect a younger audience- but going past midnight...???

So all in all, the news or it being PG 13 is reaaaaaallllll welcome...
In the hope that I may see this relatively undisturbed... Don't get me wrong as a kid watching ESB I remember getting vocal with excitement too, but at least my Dad had the decency to get me to shut the hell up when I'd get too loud...! 😉

I know what you mean S.o.G!
In Holland we have a lot of people always talking during movies...and most of the times it almost makes me go in a raze.
When I was at the premiere of AOTC in may2002, even then many people were like laughing or ridiculing those Padme/Anakin-scenes(ok, they were not too brilliant) and that Shmi-death-scene.
I shouted something like "If you don't like SW...then get the f**k out of here" and it almost had me removed out of the theatre.
That's what I hate about it.
Let it be PG-13, real Manga-style bloodflowing stuff.
At least it attracts the serious higly evolved SW-fans and leaves the dumb-minded Bamby-like-critters outside...AMEN!

Meditate on this, I cannot!!! 👿

Ah yes memories. When my oldest daughter who was 19 at the time and I went to AOTC, we had these 5 junior high boys sitting behind us being idiots before the movie started. When the movie started I figured they'd shut up, but nooooooo, after listening to them for about 5 minutes, I got up and walked down the aisle, leaning way over the seat and got in their faces and growled, "Listen you little bastards, Ive been waiting 3 years to see this movie and if you dont shut the hell up I will have your asses thrown out of here." 😈 Never heard another peep out of them. 😆
