NEW YORK (AP) - George Lucas says the newest - and final instalment - of his Star Wars films may get a PG-13 rating.
"I don't think I would take a 5-or a 6-year-old to this. It's way too strong," Lucas says of "Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" on CBS' 60 Minutes, to air Sunday (7 p.m. EST). "My feeling is that it will probably be a PG-13, so it will be the first Star Wars that's a PG-13."
Revenge of the Sith, the third prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy, will open May 19. The movie features Anakin Skywalker's transformation to Darth Vader, a descent based on Lucas' vision of hell, a mythical planet composed entirely of erupting volcanoes.
"We're going to watch him make a pact with the devil," says the director. "The film is more dark ... more emotional. It's much more of a tragedy."
Despite critical pans of Episodes I and II, Lucas says in the interview: "Actually, I am very happy. I'm very pleased with the whole thing."
