Could "Episode III" Score a PG-13 Rating?

In preparation for their "60 Minutes" interview with filmmaker George Lucas, CBS News shares a tip that "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" may indeed be rated PG-13. "I don’t think I would take a 5- or a 6-year-old to this," says Lucas, "It’s way too strong…"(The film) is much more dark…more emotional. It’s much more of a tragedy. My feeling is that it will probably be a PG-13, so it will be the first ‘Star Wars’ that’s a PG-13." With the all-new trailer hitting Fox earlier this evening and the impending "60 Minutes" feature, it would seem that "Star Wars" mania is starting to hit full swing. "Episode III" hits theaters worldwide on May 19th.
