Something more disturbing is that "Revenge of the Sith" is a PG-13 flick but was saturation advertised directly to children, e.g. Darth Vader on the boxes of breakfast cereal, snacks, children's toys, etc. Supposably there's a scene in "Revenge of the Sith" where Anakin Skywalker slaughters a group of children. George Lucas as a parent should have known better (this was very unethical). The first "Star Wars" was one of my most favorite movies ever. I'm very disappointed at how this thing has turned out (Why aren't more people pissed off about this?).

p.s. I've almost talked myself into not seeing this thing for free. While my co-workers are watching "Revenge of the Sith", I think I'll do ice cream with my kids.
