I think it depends on the parent and on the child. There are some pretty mature elements in even what is the arguably lightest film of the Original Trilogy. Though they are all brief or off screen, Star Wars includes dismemberment, torture, and genocide. I can see how a parent might want to wait a few years, either because of their own values or the sensativity of the individual kiddo.
Very true. Those scenes could be skipped if need be. This is also the reason to break it up. A 4yo most likely won’t sit for a 2hr movie that isn’t Frozen. I think you can skip the objectionable scenes and still have a great movie for a kid.
That’s true and may be an option.
