Star Wars III steers clear of foul language, sexual situations and for the most part, the violence is standard Star Wars stuff with no blood and no clear pain being felt – people, droids, clones, etc., just die or no longer have a body part intact. UNTIL, the lightsaber fight that necessitates the human Anakin into becoming the part mechanical Darth Vader is so graphic and gruesome that it’s even hard to watch as an adult. What is fantastic about Star Wars III is that it does the unheard-of in movie making: the protagonist becomes and stays a bad guy. It’s a great opportunity to discuss with kids that everyone is capable of being both good and evil and that people who seem good can try and manipulate you into doing bad things. For kids 9 and older.
