THE final, long-awaited Star Wars movie is not suitable for children, director George Lucas has admitted.

Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith is the darkest, most violent instalment of the series and Lucas expects to get a PG-13 rating in the US.

"I don't think I would take a five or a six-year-old to this," he said.

If his prediction is correct, it will be the first Star Wars film to advise parents that certain scenes are unsuitable for under-13s.

Revenge Of The Sith is the third prequel to the Star Wars trilogy and sees the young Anakin Skywalker turn to the dark side to become Darth Vader.

It closes the door on a series which was filmed over almost 30 years.

So if Lucas doesn't think this movie is fit for kids, does that mean no Jar Jar, no droids acting like retards, no ewoks, etc?

So if Lucas doesn't think this movie is fit for kids, does that mean no Jar Jar, no droids acting like retards, no ewoks, etc?

The movie has to be PG or Lucas might lose out on some merchandising to the tots. Remember Darth Tater? That's right, marketing to kids, merchandising for kids. No way it's going to be "dark" or un-friendly to little children. Lucas loves his money too much to risk losing out on the newborn baby bib market.
