George Lucas Says Newest and Final 'Star Wars' Film Might Get PG-13 Rating
NEW YORK Mar 10, 2005 — George Lucas says the newest and final installment of his "Star Wars" films may get a PG-13 rating.
"I don't think I would take a 5- or a 6-year-old to this. It's way too strong," Lucas says of "Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith" on CBS' "60 Minutes," to air Sunday (7 p.m. EST). "My feeling is that it will probably be a PG-13, so it will be the first `Star Wars' that's a PG-13."
"Revenge of the Sith," the third prequel to the "Star Wars" trilogy, will open May 19. The movie features Anakin Skywalker's transformation to Darth Vader, a descent based on Lucas' vision of hell, a mythical planet composed entirely of erupting volcanos.
"We're going to watch him make a pact with the devil," says the director. "The film is more dark … more emotional. It's much more of a tragedy."
Despite critical pans of Episodes I and II, Lucas says in the interview: "Actually, I am very happy. I'm very pleased with the whole thing."
