    I’d have no problem with my 5 year old watching the land before time or the lion king (which she’s already seen), but I haven’t let her watch empire or rotj yet because I’m pretty sure they’ll scare her.

    You’re acting like these things are the same but they aren’t.

      And this makes it a serious children’s movie? Even George Lucas has explained these are movies for 12 year olds.

      "I wasn’t supposed to say this then, or now, but it’s a film for 12-year-olds,” he says. “In the real world … critics … certain fans. They’re not very nice.”

      I really don’t get why people are refusing to admit that these are children’s movies.
