SAN RAFAEL, California (AP) -- The Force lands in theaters a bit more forcefully in the final installment of George Lucas "Star Wars" tale.

"Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" is the first "Star Wars" tale to receive a PG-13 rating. The movie was screened for reporters Tuesday night at Lucas' Skywalker Ranch, and the PG-13 rating -- "for sci-fi violence and some intense images" -- is well-deserved.

The action is relentless and includes sequences more dark and disturbing than anything previously seen in the tragic Skywalker soap opera.

Young Jedi knight Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) completes his transformation into blackhearted villain Darth Vader with a bloodbath against old allies, the body count including a corridor of "youngling" corpses -- Jedi children cut down by his light saber.

Anakin is left gruesomely mutilated in a death duel with former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). His surgical reclamation as the part-flesh, part-machine Vader is chillingly juxtaposed against the bleak childbirth scene of his wife, Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), whose twins grow up to be heroes of the original "Star Wars" trilogy, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

Even cute and cuddly Jedi master Yoda takes his lumps, torched by the electroshock treatment dished out by the saga's puppetmaster, the evil emperor (Ian McDiarmid).

The previous five "Star Wars" flicks all were rated PG, which carry the mild warning "parental guidance suggested," and that some scenes might be unsuitable for children. The PG-13 rating carries the alert "parents strongly cautioned" that some material could be inappropriate for those younger than 13.

"We're getting a lot of flak from parents, a lot of people saying how can you do this? My children love these movies. Why can you not let them go see it?" Lucas told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "But I have to tell a story. I'm not making these, oddly enough, to be giant, successful blockbusters. I'm making them because I'm telling a story, and I have to tell the story I intended."

Of course, the PG-13 rating does not prohibit children under 13 from seeing the film without an adult tagging along. And while it's not likely to make much of a dent in the movie's certain blockbuster status, the rating could give some parents pause.

"These are pretty intense. Who should be allowed to see them should be left up to the parents, but at least they're warned that it's pretty intense," Lucas said. "And obviously, that's not a good business move."”

“Cool, you posted the ad links too! ;)”

“I definetly want to see it. But wont be taking my daughter (7).”

“At CNN there's a shot from the movie showing Anakin standing next to Palpatine. I 'll be darned if Hayden doesn't resemble Mark Hamill a little.”

“well, they're both pretty crappy actors for 1”

“~snort~”

“I've got a buddy who's whole company is shutting down and everyone's going to see it the day it comes out.”

“Is it a tech company? A bunch of geeks? Oh heck, most of my friends are geeks.”

“i read that some theaters are showing big marathons.

14 hours! all 6 films in a row.

i'm a pretty big fan, but i don't know if i could sit throught that.”

“Come on Sacco, Hamill was great in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. lol”

“right, right zac lol”

““Is it a tech company? A bunch of geeks? Oh heck, most of my friends are geeks.”

Very much so. He's an IT wonk.”

“Hmmm, HPM suddenly comes to mind.”

I agree. I tried doing that with the original 3 and was just able to make it to the end of Empire Strikes Back before I had to turn of the TV.”

“i think i could make it to the ewoks.

once those little basterds show up i think i'd retch

infact, now that i think about it, that really was the defining point of the whole series.

pre-ewok - gooood.

post-ewok - badddd.”

“One word...


Catheter.”

“Remember the 2 made for TV Ewok movies back in the '80's? I found the things on dvd at Wal Mart. I left them there, too.”

“yes i do tree. unfortunetly.”

“ENTS! ENTS! THEY ARE AWSOME!!!”

“I'm reading the book right now. This movie is going to kick ass!”

“it better after the last 2 'kiddie' movies...”

“lucas jumped the shark with "jedi". nevertheless, im pumped about the new one. it looks really good”

“I agree, this movie is going to be awesome!

I have read the book, and played both Lego Star Wars, and the Star Wars Episode 3 Xbox games. It looks like it will have a lot of good fight scenes.”

“lord vader

yes, master

rise”

“I wish I could Tivo all the trailers on television. The funny ass commercials too. I love the Diet Pepsi one with Yoda.”

“i havent seen a trailer for sith in the theater since the one in the incredibles”

“friggin awesome. I can't wait to go see this.

“destroy the sith we must”

“doesn't open till thursday, oh the anticipation.”

“Ex-squeeze me, but misa poopy me so excited.”

“gonna wait out the hardcores til saturday afternoon. i used to be a hardcore til episode 1”

“I'll wait till a matinee showing.”

“I think this one is going to be a redeemer. Episode One pretty much sucked, save the fight scene with Darth Maul.”

“saturday afternoon is a matinee”

“Misa hard core. Misa first in linesa. Misa dress like R2-D2sa.

“As yousa can plainly seesa, misa first in linesa. beepsa beepsa. crash bangsa isa darth vader.”

“in just about 12 hours...”

“I think I'll wait a few weeks for the crowds to reduce before I go see it.”

“I saw Ep I in a theatre first day.

Hardly anybody there. Nice theatre too.

Just depends where you go.

Theatres don't pack like they used to in a lot of areas.

I guess a lot of people get the same idea, ... "I'll wait" ... or "when it comes on DVD" ...”

“I'm not big on going to the movies anyway. Episode 2 may have been the last movie I saw in the theater.”

“agreed

Home theatre is much better imo.”

“Yup, and you don't get in trouble for watching the movie in your underwear either.”

“Star Wars is like Walmart.

It comes to your town and leaves with a lot of your money.”

“I'm going this Sunday with my women's workout group. Yay!”

“If I see another marketing venture for this movie (that hasn't even opened yet), I think I may just puke!
