        Huh. That’s the first time I’ve ever actually seen that shot in such detail. Is it ai upscaled? I always remember the bodies as being so small on the screen that you could miss them if you didn’t know where to look.

          Nope, not upscaled, there’s a fairly close-up shot when Luke goes back to the farmstead. It’s pretty quick, though I’ve always thought quite graphic - the skeletons aren’t just burnt black, there’s very clearly charred but bloody red flesh still on them. If anything this is a low-resolution still compared to watching it on Blu-ray.

          I don’t think the original Star Wars is a children’s movie, but I do think the the series became a lot more kid-friendly over time, probably both consciously and unconsciously on George’s part.

              And? you realize that all the toy licensing was about making money and nothing else right?

              Just because there are children’s toys for an IP does not mean that the IP is intended for children. That Venn diagram is not a circle.

      It’s definitely my favourite children’s series with a fairly graphic beheading, dismemberment and the slaughter of children. Fun for the little ones.

          Very true, actually you reminded me of my second favourite children’s film Schindler’s List. They did a fantastic job making sure the parents could appreciate it too.

            I dunno if you’re being purposely obtuse, but try reading some original Hans Christian Andersen “children’s stories” instead of the sanitized Disney versions.

            Shit was so much darker and more twisted than anything Lucas has ever been involved in.

              5th movie? Schindler was in episode 1. He was literally the man who resued the boy from the nazi slavers. The queen he was helping hide is also a jew.

      It really is… It’s hard to go back and enjoy the movies after growing up and watching like, actually good movies.
