The sixth and final Star Wars movie may not be suitable for young children, film-maker George Lucas has said. He told US TV show 60 Minutes that Revenge of the Sith would be the darkest and most violent of the series.
"I don't think I would take a five or six-year-old to this," he told the CBS programme, to be aired on Sunday.
Lucas predicted the film would get a US rating advising parents some scenes may be unsuitable for under-13s. It opens in the UK and US on 19 May.

George Lucas said he would not take young children to the film
Based on the last 2, I wouldn't take anyone.
I bet Michael Jackson would, though.
What a load of bull.....I took my child to see "Robots" today. A movie obviously geared towards the 5+ crowd...guess what preview they showed.....
At least he comes right out and says it instead of hoping that everybody brings their kids so he can make a buck.
I just hope that stupid weird talking thing is killed. I can't stand that whatever it is...
From the looks of the trailer. It is dark, scary and exciting. The Jedi (good guys) are really gonna get hammered in this one.
Looks like a real epic though.
Thanks for setting up a battle-royal in all American families with kids under 13. Jerk.
So, after making E1 and E2 hi-tech cartoons featuring a cross between Goofy and Roger Rabbit, E3 is going to be inappropriate for children.
LUCAS!!! YOU'VE TURNED INTO AN EVIL HACK, YOU WORTHLESS PILE OF ANTAREAN SLUG SLIME, YOU!
Now that I got that off my chest...
Then who's going to watch his infantile crap?
And it saddens me to say that because I loved the first two movies.
If its anything like the last one, the kids will just sleep through the whole thing, like the adults.

Well, that narrows it down.
Hi there, Jeddi!
I can't wait. I've been waiting for this movie for YEARS.
Just because Lucas says a kid shouldn't see it and it will be PG-13, doesn't mean that parents won't be taking their under 13 year old kids to see it anyway.
I think you mean Jar Jar Binks. I hope he dies, too.
man - there are sooo many good jokes in that line - but honesly - what are you talking about - I dont recall seeing anything - or is there another jar jar type charcater
bingo!
The new trailer is simply breathtaking. It isn't a candyland happy teddybear squeaky-voiced Jar Jar type of film.
It's a film about war and betrayal.
He's right. It's not "omg porno" or "omg slasher" type of film. It's gritty, not dirty. It's violent and isn't for the teddy bear set.
I'm looking forward to it. If it is half as good as the trailer, it'll rival The Empire Strikes Back.
