Not for this old cuss. I recently got posed this question while pontificatin aboard my ship The
Desert Livin: "what's wrong with a little "R" rating?" It was posed in reference to future Star Wars movies. Well I'll tell you what's wrong with it. Everything. The purity of Star Wars is what makes it so great. It's classy, good for young and old, and manages to be insightful about life to boot.
What happened to the good ol' days when a movie would show a young married couple on a honeymoon, and as night progresses, a young woman might give a knowing look to the young man and then the lights go out. We all know what happens next. For those who need it spelled out for you all over the big screen, please try and take up dating at an opportune time. You might find that you'll enjoy it much better.
Blood and guts? Sure, I can enjoy em as much as the next person but they ain't necessary. Who's to say that a wound from a blaster or lightsaber won't cauterize instantly. We don't need blood all over the screen to know a person has been injured. If a movie becomes to violent for kids, how can I convince all the baby stores to carry Star Wars themed nuseries?
And as for cussin? Nuff said. Profanity has been labeled the outward expression of a frustrated mind. Meanin you ain't bright enough to come up with the right words to a situation or you can't handle your anger, both of which are ideas anathema to those in tune with the force. Even the Sith gotta have some control over themselves otherwise we all end up like those poor souls on the planet Vjun who weren't prepared for an increased sensitivity to the force and ended up comittin suicide.
