PIZ Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Lots of good points. I've made up my mind. If I can find a babysitter for my other 2 kids (my 3 year old is going to be pissed he can't go--kid loves VADER---has a mask and lightsaber and goes around breathing like him) I'm taking him.

Kid's got three lightsabers. Anyway, they came to visit the other day and my TWO YEAR OLD daughter picked up one of the lightsabers and started to duel with him. *sniff* I was so proud of my little girl!

They both love playing Battlefront and Lego Star Wars on MY xbox. They want Revenge of the Sith and Republic Commando, but I can't afford the price tags right now.

gantrules Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Rent 'em from blockbuster, that's what I do b/c even if it is 6.99 + tax if you keep it for a couple weeks you only get charged the restocking fee at $1.30. Have fun at the movie!!! Let me know what you think. My boy loves Star Wars too, but like I said he fell asleep. It's a bit slow for the younger ones IMO. I'm going to take him to Batman on Saturday and who knows maybe he'll fall asleep during that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRider Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I've heard it's gruesome. He is begging me everyday to see the movie and it's probably the only way I'll get to see it myself. He doesn't get scared of movies, but he really hasn't seen anything other than movies like Shrek, Toy Story, the other Star Wars movies. He's also wanting to watch my movie Pirates of the Caribbean. 358580[/snapback] Maybe my parents were protective, but I remember hounding my parents to see the original at seven years old... If your kid is comfortable in seeing how Vader's face tranforms from the one in movies 1, 2 and 3 to the one unmasked in Return of the Jedi, by all means... That said, it is an excellent production, and IMHO only The Empire Strikes Back is better. I was pleasantly surprised and even understood some of what I thought was filler in the first two... I still think 1 & 2 were awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renfruzetz Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'd say no after seeing it. It was great IMHO but not really suitable for a 5 year old. I can't believe someone who's seen the film didn't reply to this thread with "NOOOooooooo!" It's a crap shoot. a) he's in a trance b) he's scarred for weeks c) he falls asleep My nephew turned 2 last week and is humming the theme much to the chagrin of my sister in law.

VABills Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Nothing in the movie is too terrible besides the acting. If he can deal with maybe the worst acting in a movie ever, then he should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie68 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 So is Star Wars III appropriate for a 5 year old?, No I have a 5 yr old who has seen all the others - No way would am not bring him to this in the theater - too dark - too intense for age 5 when the DVD comes out, we might skip through selected scenes, but I'll likely wait until he is older. there is really no reason for him tho see it now.
