New Star Wars movie not suitable for kids?

[srebbe64]

Has George Lucas entirely lost the plot? Surely the Star Wars films are meant to be family viewing. The last two films have been poor in my view - is he now going to annoy his customers by making the final movie not suitable for families?

Best news all day - couldn't stand the carebears of RoTJ and as for Jar Jar

[neil.b]

None of the last two (three - I hate Ewoks) have been suitable for adults either.

At least not ones who value their short time on this planet.

[JagLover]

YES! YES! YES!

Finally For the first time since Empire Strikes back a Star wars film not designed for people with a mental age of 10

No more Ewoks or that Jar JarBinks

If I met Jar Jar Binks I would beat him to death with the nearest thing that came to hand

Given the storyline I think the film had to be the darkest of the lot. Hopefully the series will go out on a high point.

A cliff? One can only hope....

Sounds perfect. Since he started targetting them at kids, they've been complete arse.

Surely George could have moved the release date 2 weeks earlier.
What a shame it doesn't come out on:

May the Fourth (be with you).





I'll get my coat.

He's got a lisp.

Phantom Menace was pretty poor.

Attack of the Clones was fabulous though - The Jedi Stadium fight, the Clone Armny assault and Yoda's battle with Dooku.... Brilliant stuff.

I do hope that the final installment is as good as it should be.

You think?!

Jedi wiped out
Padme Amidala dies
Anakin -> Darth Vader
Empire/Sith taking control
Twins seperated

HAPPY TIMES!

Good, the first two prequals were far too childish, hopefully this one will have a little more substance.

Stupid ewoks and jar-jar really dumbed down the whole experience for me.

I think they always have been - thing is we were all (mostly) kids when the original trilogy came out

Stop it.

It looked like the bloody muppet show.

Good news!

Star Wars was best when aliens were grotesque and people got their limbs chopped off by lightsabres. The thing that lifted Star Wars above the other sci-fi around at the time was its sense of gritty realism and the bad guys winning from time to time, and as a result, The Empire Strikes Back is still the best of the lot.

Since Return Of The Jedi they've been sanitised, although things got marginally darker in Attack Of The Clones. In this last instalment, I want to see all the gruesome imagery about the creation of Darth Vader alluded to in the first films made real or it'll be a big disappointment. I want Jar Jar Binks blasted to bits with a laser gun in the first five minutes, I want to see spaceships crashing into each other again, and above all, I want the bad guys winning, because that, as we know, is what's supposed to happen.

Something wrong with that?!

"It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights...."

I'm actually really looking forward to this film

I am a Star Wars fanantic.

There I was looking forward to the 1st one the Phantom Menance-Saw it and arghhhhhh

What absolute crap

The next one was better-I suppose it deserves to have the name Star Wars in the title-Not as good as the original three though.

But this one-as long as someone has sat George Lucas down and made him watch the Empire Strikes Back over and over again for a hundred times he might have come to realise what made Star Wars great.

You just couldnt undertake a construction job of that magnitude without calling in contractors from all over the galaxy. Roofers, electricians, aluminium siders...
