My son is 7. He saw the first two Star Wars prequels in the theater. He also saw Return of the King in the theater. Neither movie spooked him. They say ROTS is PG 13 becase it has some scary images.
Is the New Star Wars too much for a seven year old
BTW: He likes watching the "making of" segemnts on DVD's pertaining to these fantasy & sci fi movies, so he definitly knows it is make believe.
