Here’s the thing… no movies are made for kids. Film makers (and their financiers) have to cater to paying adults whether they’re parents or not. Star Wars like almost everything else within the fantasy genre is a family film; occasionally scary or anxiety inducing, but generally suitable for viewers that can comprehend the plot. Toddlers without serious faculties shouldn’t be watching it. It’s a fine line that shouldn’t be crossed. You can’t just add things like extended scenes of clowning, toilet humour, and a bunch of stereotypical foreign accents and say that’s how it’s always been. You can’t try and refute criticism by saying only an adult would made those kind of comments.
