I disagree, although I haven't seen the movie. Anything rated PG-13 is probably not kid-appropriate.

There are mitigating facts though, like the following:

Executives point out that only four of the 31 Kids Meal toys are specific to Sith. The toys "clearly celebrate not just one film but the entire Star Wars saga," says Edna Johnson, a Burger King spokeswoman.

OK. I could accept that. But then,

But Rolfe says "the tie-in is very specific to this film." Wrappers around Kids Meal toys all promote Sith, he notes.

My girls love Star Wars, but I won't take them to see this episode. I will buy them these BK kids meals and then tell them that we're not going to see this Star Wars episode.

Then you are a good and proper parent. Is it really up to an advocacy group to do that job for you though?

We saw it, and I didn't think it was very bad. My kids are 8 and 10 and had no problems with the movie.

One of the reasons for the PG-13 rating is because Anakin kills "younglings" at the Jedi Temple, but he killed kids in episode 2 also.

Also at the end, Anakin looks pretty gross after he gets burned up.

It doesn't have any stupid kid stuff like the Ewoks or Jar Jar Binks, but I was okay with that.
