Oh, I was wondering this because I got it at the same store together with SWBFII and ROTS. I thought they lowered the rating because of ROTS.

As far as I know, Jango's death wasn't cut. The headbutt in the Obi-Wan/Jango-fight was. Quite stupid if you ask me. Here in Denmark it's uncut and rated 11.

I mean, we're talking about the country who allows their dim-witted president to spy on them all in the name of "freedom." Ugh.

LOL! Then why do they don't cut the sequence of Vader cutting Luke's hand of in ESB. Vader had a mechanical arms and Luke has organic ones, so why leave it in there. Then just give the movie a higher rating then cutting a beheading scene of just 1 second.

Sith is uncut, it had the "12" higher rating, they have certain rules on things like headbutts etc in films for younger people like Star Wars, they used to be very strict even with adult rated films until a few years ago, when they changed the person in charge of the BBFC. so they are less strict now and most things now get through uncut, but certain things like animal creulty are still a big no-no and are still cut from films etc

Now, I'm not saying that the Americans don't care about violence or the Europeans about sex. It just seems that they're more desensitized to it. A little bit of violence gets a higher rating in Europe than in America, but a more sexually explicit film will get a higher rating in America than in Europe.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get.

I don't think that either has more censorship, but simply that it's in different areas. That doesn't make sense, but it will. It seems to me that American censors (based on what comes out) don't care as much about violence as they do about sexuality. Network television is all crime shows and murder and this, and they don't have a problem, but you don't see nudity (almost ever!). European censors, on the other hand, don't seem to blink at the sexuality, but come down hard on the violence.

Eyes wide shut is a small example in the US DVD nudity and sexual movements in certian scenes have been digitally censored, but the rest of the world "region" DVDs are the uncensored prints...
