The last of the prequel trilogy is unquestionably the darkest movie in the entire Star Wars cinematic universe primarily due to Anakin Skywalker’s incredibly morbid transformation into Darth Vader. Star Wars is packed with death but Sith took it to a whole new level, as Vader leading the Clone Troopers into the Jedi temple to slaughter whoever he c...
Even more than Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One is the Star Wars movie that feels like it was made entirely for adults. The movie tells the story of the group of rebels who managed to steal the plans to the Death Star, leading directly to the events that kick of A New Hope. Sadly, completing such a dangerous and daring mission ultimately cost these r...
In the tradition of Empire, The Last Jedi has a much more somber tone than its predecessor and features several moments that may prove to be too disturbing or mature for kids. There are certainly some fun, light-hearted moments in the film, including any moment Chewie is forced to interact with the adorable and slightly annoying Porgs. But overall,...
In terms of action and tone, Attack of the Clones isn’t really much less kid-friendly than many films higher on this list. Sure, there is the first glimpse of dark Anakin when he goes apeshit on a bunch of Tusken Raiders after the death of his mom but nearly every Star Wars movie has at least one moment equally dark. So what sets the second chapter...
Widely considered the best movie in the Star Wars filmography, part of what makes EST so beloved is the fact that the movie feels like it was made for adults as much as kids. By the end of Empire, the rebels have been slapped around by the Empire, Han has been frozen in carbonite, and Luke learns that the evilest man in the galaxy is actually his o...
As many critics and have noted, structurally The Force Awakens is very similar to A New Hope. Both films even have scenes where the protagonist’s mentor is killed in front of them. But while Luke watching Obi-Wan disappear is heartbreaking, it is significantly less heartbreaking than Rey and Chewie having to watch Han Solo, perhaps the most beloved...
Despite being the origin story of the galaxy’s most infamous smuggler, Solo is a movie that is surprisingly appropriate for kids. There a few dark moments, primarily any time Dryden Vos is onscreen, but once the titular scruffy-looking nerf herder teams up with Chewie, Lando, and the rest of his motley crew to get a hold of some highly-valuable coa...
The Phantom Menaceis perhaps the most divisive Star Wars movie but one thing that’s not controversial is that this is one of the more kid-friendly films in the series. The pod-racing is a blast. The mix of old and new characters mostly works. Young Anakin might not is maybe the only kid in the entire Star Wars filmography who gets more than a minut...
The final chapter in the original trilogy is widely seen as the most kid-friendly movie in the franchise and it’s easy to see why. Return of the Jedi is mostly devoid of the malevolence found in most other Star Wars films and offers an undeniably happy ending, with Luke looking over at his ghost mentors while Han, Leia, and Chewie are enjoying an E...
As the title suggests, A New Hopeis all about finding a reason to believe in the face of adversity and, as a result, this movie is a triumphant celebration of good triumphing over evil. The action is relatively mild, the collection of characters are impossible not to love, and the introduction of this incredible galaxy is guaranteed to thrill almos...
- Age 6 — Your padawan is ready to begin with the basics; nothing too scary. Watch: Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles (TV show) Read/play: Star Wars Journeys: The Phantom Menace (interactive storybook app)
- Age 7 — Training continues: Kids are ready for the first (original trilogy) movie — plenty of action, but it all works out OK — and some fun apps. Watch: Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope (movie), Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales (TV show) or Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars (TV special)
- Ages 8 to 9 — The original saga concludes: The prequels begin and the story expands in more new directions. Action and peril get more intense; characters are more conflicted.
- Ages 10 to 11 — Get in on the action: Games and the internet bridge the gap between the kid-friendly movies and the edgier Revenge of the Sith. Play: Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (game) or Kinect Star Wars (game)
Sep 1, 2023 · The Star Wars films are not all equally age-appropriate. While I strongly advocate for first-time adult viewers to watch Star Wars in release order—the order in which the films were produced, starting with the original 1977 Star Wars (later subtitled A New Hope)—that's not necessarily the best advice for showing the films to young kids.

One cut-off exclamation of "oh, sh--!" plus "hell". Parents need to know that Solo: A Star Wars Story is a stand-alone adventure about a young Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) that takes place several years before he teams up with Luke and Leia in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The movie reveals details about the infamous smuggler's past -- like ...
