Great action, intense mood, but romance may bore kids.
Parents need to know that the second prequel in the epic Star Wars saga isn't the most intense of the series, but there are still moments of striking violence (including a beheading and an amputation) and a few very emotionally intense moments. The death of a major character's mother on screen is a particularly dark and disturbing sequence that may upset children. Kids able to handle the stronger moments will especially enjoy several exciting and imaginative sequences, from a white-knuckle chase in a flying car to battles against surreal space monsters.
