In den USA wird Episode III - Revenge of the Sith mit einem PG-13, was in Deutschland einer Freigabe von 12 Jahren entspricht, in die Kinos kommen.

Der Daily Herald meldete das die Einstufung durch die Motion Picture Association of
America´s Classification and Ratings Administration durchgeführt wurde und damit feststeht.

Damit würde einer Freigabe in Deutschland ab 12 Jahren auch nichts im Wege stehen.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, all “Star Wars” movies received a PG rating.

Not anymore.

“Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith” has been given a PG-13 rating by the Motion Picture Association of America´s Classification and Ratings Administration.

“Revenge” has received the PG-13 for “sci-fi violence and some intense images.” (One could ask, on behalf of befuddled parents, exactly what “intense images” actually means. Mostly, it means the MPAA´s ratings explanations have gotten progressively muddled during the past few years.)

The new rating means “Revenge of the Sith” contains material that “may be inappropriate for children under 13.”

Director/writer George Lucas earlier hinted his movie would be the most intense of the six “Star Wars” chapters.

“It´s not like the old ‘Star Wars,´ ” Lucas told the Associated Press. “This one´s a bit more emotional.”

The previous five “Star Wars” films all received PG ratings. Lucas´ new, more emotional episode opens nationwide May 19.
