Somewhat lost among the flurry of trailers and tickets this week, was the fact that we received our first official confirmation of the MPAA rating given to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This was revealed on physical movie tickets that fans bought in person at various theaters. Here is a photo of the tickets from our friend Zany in Mississippi.
This will be the second Star Wars film to receive a PG-13 rating after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. All other films have been PG.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will premiere worldwide on December 18th, after various early premieres in the preceding days.
Are you excited that the movie will have grittier elements? Let us know in the comments!

I guess I can still hold on to that slim hope that it will be PG in the end.
Being in Canada a PG-13 movie in the U.S. is always rated PG here. My 7 year old has watched Gardians of the Galaxy and Jurrasic World. However she has not watched "The Dark Knight" and won't for another year or two. Basically parents have the tools through IMDB and Common Sense media to make an informed decision. The fact Star Wars is Disney now I would expect the rating to be based on violence. With VFX today things look more real and can be more intense. Add in watching the movie in IMAX or a AVX 3D theatre the movie may be too intense for some kids. That is just a reality.
