Well, certainly don't buy the toy dreck. These are cultural icons and it does behoove you to become familiar with the stories of today. Pick cheap matinee with candy and water you bring in yourself.
With this sort of thing, it's best to let kids see it and then you talk about it afterword and give it the right context. such as- WW2, it really was that simple, the fight against pure evil.
Some movies are so intrinsically vile you don't want your kids anywhere near 'em. This isn't one-- you can use it to frame a really nice conversion with your kid. What's more, a kid armed with a solid right-thinking analysis has a chance to help his benighted brethren at school, to help fill up the "whhoa that effect was so cool" void.
Excellent and wise advice. Thank you.
Lucas most likely doesn't get a cut of the concessions. That's how the theaters make money. They probably pay more for the showing of film at the matinee than they take in in revenue, even with a mostly full theater.
