Rating for Episode 3?

[Horace Jenkins]

Episode 3 will be the best of the new three... I know this. And it has the possibilities of being the most violent. We have the volcano scene, a lota death, lota violence, and the possibility of the destruction of the entire gungan race.

My question is how far do you think that George will let it go as far as violence. We all know that Star Wars films as a rule of tumb haven't been all too violent with the immediate cauteriziation of any lost extremmities due to light sabers... but the possible BURNATION of all the Jar-Jars... the possibilities are endless... I just hope that something comes from it... anyway... there ya go.

[Kris Hodgson]

Even though this one will be darker, Lucas still intends Star Wars to be for kids, so it'll be rated the same as the others, I think.

[Jarbacca]

he has said it will be the darkest (although i don't think he can deliver on that statement)

anyways SW films have never really shown much violence, just hinted at it

[Warlock of Pain]

i say PG-13, because the kids still have to go see it.

[Fable]

sorry im not much a star wars fanatic, (although i do enjoy the movies) what volcano scene?

[spiderman_2k]

The scene where Obi-Wan knocks Anakin into the lava thus causing him to need all the breathing apparatus, and why his face is all messed up when hes vader in the original trilogy.

[spiderman_2k]

I didnt know it was a volcano though, thought it was just a Lava Pit in some factory is as i have always imagined it.

Is Burnation a word? Anywho, it will be PG. ANH is the most violent Star Wars with the bloody amputated arm and the burnt corpses of Owen and Beru. Plus the slaughter of all those innocent Jawas. So, even if Ep3 is dark, it doesn't have to the bloody. ESB is the darkest OT film and it wasn't violent at all (except for that one hand amputation that we didn't even see.)

[Jspitalieri]

Lucas ensures two things when he makes these. 1. that the time is not too long, so the movie can be played more times during the day and 2. that it will be available to all audiences so he may make more money. Point look at how much money the Matrix made, only 93 million opening weekend (Not that that is bad), but because of the restricted rating many potential customers are shut out. Its all about the money if you are Lucas.

[el whip]

It's gonna PG like all the other Star Wars, just cause Lucas says its darker doesn't mean that the rating will change. what i really want to know is will Ep III be 2 hours long, i think there is a lot of stuff to be covered in just 2 hours, i would love to see a 3 hour Star Wars movie but i don't think thats gonna happen.

[Miasma]

People are expecting too much with this "Darkest Star Wars Ever" thing. The nature of the story will be dark, naturally, but it doesn't at all mean that we're going to see graphic violence splattered all over the screen.

We're talking about Star Wars, everyone... a kid's movie series with little green muppets, floppy-eared heros who haven't quite mastered the English language, and people in teddy bear costumes. How dark could it possibly get?

[tedward]

Its dark as in the good guys are going to get their buts whipped. All of the jedi are wiped out. It is however unlikely lucas is going to do a tarentino at any point.

The entire gungan race. Who are the gungans again?

[Horace Jenkins]

That bastard Jar Jar... you notice that there are none of those mother ****ers in the next 3?

[Rizor]

PG. People will die, planets will explode, heads will be cut off, limbs will be amputated. And yet the MPAA cares not for Lucas is working a Jedi mind trick on them.

LOL Very funny. It will definetly be PG. What I would like to know is why Batman was PG with medium level violence, and yet Batman Returns was M15+ with low level violence. Hmmm...

:lol:

[Alexander JL]

Lucas begins to get desperate. Seeks new audience. Episode 3 released.

"Episode III: Amidala Does Dallas" Rated XXX.

[kimythegirl]

hahahaha :lol: That would get the Star War fans back!! :p

[todd philip]

ep 3 will most likely be pg, but lucas should push it to pg-13!

now if you look at the running times of the first 3 films

anh-125 mins

esb-129 mins

rotj-136 mins!

each film gets longer!

new trilogy

tpm-136 mins

aotc-142 mins

now my guess for part 3 is, 154 mins!

[FrankTheBunny]

I think every SW fan would love for Episode 3 to be 150+ minutes (I know I would).

It's gonna be PG. He wants kids to be able to see it, but the storyline is gonna be dark. I mean, rise of the Empire, Anakin turning into Vader, and overall depressing stuff. (seperation of twins)

[Jarbacca]

yeah, i would love a almost 3 hr SW epiusode, but rick McCallum has already said it will only be 2 hrs

[FrankTheBunny]

Well we all know how much crap Ricky M. is full of at times. Hehe.

[Hairy Porkchops]

I'm hoping it'll be just over two hours, but not much over. AOTC really started to drag a bit. Shorten the film, and pace it better. Ultimately, the quality of the movie is more important than the length.

[Rizor]

They can always do a long opening crawl and have the rest of the movie be set on 90 minutes.

[tomoyo_angel21]

I hope it'll be PG-13 coz my sisters would want to see Anakin again! :applaud:

[Originals]

u would love to see an R rated SW.

[Seraph333]

yes pg-13 because kids who go to the movies without parents are usually 12, 13 u know in the teen years and all the other kids who go go with parents so there no problem they will still make the amount of money they should

[todd philip]

i would say that it should be rated pg-13, but lucass wont do that, it shall be a dopey pg

[Slipknot]

I hope Lucas doesnt be a ass and make Episode 3 rated like PG like the rest of them, the one thing i dont like about the Star Wars series is that they neva add any kind of blood or anything, like wen Anakin gets his arm chopped off. i mean there would b blood if any one of us chopped r arm off. That is one thing i dont liek and in episode 3 tons off pple r supposed to die, so it will probly b like off screen deaths and etc. i just dont like they way they do that to make it good for like 5 year olds who dont understand half of the movie anyways.

[Blizzardman15]

GL has already stated that the movie will be PG, so expect another dumbass prequel/

[Spirited Away]

lol. looking at previous posts in the archives. This thread was completely off the truth.

Guess what; it's PG-13.

[neo5595]

This thread is dead just like the other one. And you guess what; theres no official rating yet.

[Spirited Away]

I didn't get the Vanity Fair magazine, so i can't actually prove this, but didn't Lucas say something like "I'm prepared for the PG-13 rating, as i've realised the audience (children) have grown up since Episode I, and are able to handle the maturity and darkness of this new movie".

[neo5595]

I dont know. He might have said something like that, but the producer was telling us not too long ago that it was to be PG. We wont get an official rating for a couple of months.

[Spirited Away]

Or until Lucasfilm submits the movie to the MPAA. Sometimes ratings are given way before completion of the movie.

[neo5595]

but most of the time they arent. So maybe we should just wait and see.

[vader519]

THey have already said that the movie will be PG-13. GL said it in USA Today months ago, and it was implied in Vanity Fair.

[neo5595]

Your forgetting that Rick(producer) and GL once said its gonna be PG. I believe its gonna be PG-13 but nothing is official yet.

[Nimrandir]

It will most likely be PG-13. But, I don't expect it to be really any more violent than the rest. It will be a little scary in some spots for kids. But, this is SW, it is never scary of violent. No blood because the sabres couderize(sp?) the wounds as they cut.

[Faithless Eye]

remember, we are going to see Anakin extra-crispy style.

you dont get stuff like that in a PG movie.

and we have also heard that sidious' reveal is one of the most palpable (hehe) depictions of evil ever shown (in star wars, anyway).

we also get to see yoda get rooted up the rectum.

but the extra crispy barbecue flavour anakin is the major gore/violence, i think. theres much more but its spoilery.

When you get hit by a light saber you don't bleed.

Te lightsaber seals the woundbecause of the extreme heat.

[spiderman_2k]

Reading through this thread it's suprising how many banned members posted in it, quite a collection.

[Spirited Away]

Yes, but they changed their minds when it came to production. They wanted more action, more violence and more beheadings.

It'll be PG-13, because it's too violent to be PG, and also because the story is much more darker than before.

Which is one of the reasons why the extended edition of A New Hope needs to be made...

[joe_h]

Jeezus where have all these newbies come from? Seem to be a lot of banned ones too.

u would love to see an R rated SW

I wouldn't. It wouldn't be Star Wars. You want R rated, go watch a Tarantino movie. Star Wars shouldn't be R.

the one thing i dont like about the Star Wars series is that they neva add any kind of blood or anything, like wen Anakin gets his arm chopped off. i mean there would b blood if any one of us chopped r arm off.

:lol: You're kidding me right?

That makes me laugh. You haven't participated in this thread much if at all. Yet you up and post stating matter of factly that Lucas said the movie would be PG. You don't know what Lucas said.

Reading through this thread it's suprising how many banned members posted in it, quite a collection.

Well, most of them haven't participated in this thread at all. You'll notice the regulars aren't previously banned members. I have no idea why all of these new people started posting in here recently.

[neo5595]

why are you even replying to these messages? They are old and pretty much everyone who posted them has gotten banned. And its pretty obvious they're not Star Wars fans. So why even bother?

[Spirited Away]

It's been officially confirmed as aiming for the PG-13 rating, by the producer himself.

[Aztec]

If it's anything like the last two it will be rated "R" for "Retarded".

Man, the trolls have flooded Coming Soon. But that is hilarious, especially coming from someone who thinks the assfest Freddy Vs. Jason was good.
