With The Force Awakens and now Rogue One keeping with the trend, don’t be surprised to see the other two as yet untitled Star Wars episodes get a PG-13 as well.
Rogue One got its PG-13 rating today, for “extended sequences of sci-fi violence and action,” which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, since The Force Awakens was rated the same for similar reasons.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story opens in theaters December 16.
Gareth Edwards says that he considers Rogue One to be very much a “war” film, with a darker tone overall.
