Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Rated: PG-13
Runtime:
Release Date: December 18, 2015
Director: J. J. Abrams
Starring: Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley, Jon Boyega
Thirty years after the events of Return of the Jedi, a new threat called the First Order rises from the ashes of the Empire. A former Stormtrooper named Finn (Boyega), and a Scavenger named Rey (Ridley) are caught up in a search for Luke Skywalker who had gone missing.
When Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith came out, Everyone thought that it was it for Star Wars, we all thought that there was going to be no more Star Wars movies. But then, in 2012, Disney Acquired Lucasfilm, and the right to the Star Wars franchise. Then, in 2015, this movie came out. Everyone was so hyped up for it, including me and some friends of mine while we were in the car, on our way to the IMAX theater! This film is one of the best Star Wars films ever! Parents be cautious, but this film should be ok with your teens, but I'd be cautious with your little ones.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Rated: PG
Runtime: 2 hours 4 minutes
Release Date: June 20, 1980
Director: Irvin Kershner
Starring: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford: Carrie Fisher
After being overpowered by the Empire on the ice planet Hoth, Luke (Hamill) travels to the planet Dagobah, and begins his jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued by the empire and a bounty hunter named Boba Fett. Parents, I think it's darker than the original Star Wars, and if you ever show this film to your little ones, I think they'll be shocked by the famous scene between Darth Vader and Luke. That is, if you know what I'm talking about.

Okay Folks, here it is! The movie that Started it all! Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope! Or, (as it was called at the time) just Star Wars!

Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith
Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 2 hours 20 minutes
Release Date: May 19, 2005
Director: George Lucas
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen
Three years into the clone wars, Anakin and Obi-Wan (McGregor and Christensen) rescue Chancellor Palpatine from danger. As Obi-Wan Pursues a new threat, Anakin acts as a double between both the light, and the dark sides of the force, which will persuade him into becoming the infamous Darth Vader.
Parents, this is the first Star Wars film to be rated PG-13. It's probably a bit more violent than The Last Jedi, so I'd be Skeptical about showing this film to your little ones. But, if you want to, that's totally up to you.

Star Wars: Attack of The Clones
Rated: PG
Runtime: 2 hours 22 minutes
Release Date: May 16, 2002
Director: George Lucas
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen
Ten years after The Phantom Menace, Anakin Skywalker (Christensen) and Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) fall in love, while Obi-Wan Kenobi (McGregor) investigates an assassination attempt on her, and discovers that a clone army is being developed. I fondly remember seeing this film when it was in theaters when I was at least 9 years old. Me and my family went on a family trip to Emporia Kansas, where we went and some family history work. Seeing the movie, was the last thing we did before going back to the motel for the night, and it has my most favorite scene in the whole franchise, the speeder chase scene! Parents, this is (so far) the last Star Wars movie to be rated PG, and I think it's ok for your younger ones.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Rated: PG
Release Date: May 19, 1999
Runtime: 2 hours 16 minutes
Director: George Lucas
Starring: Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor
Two Jedi (Neeson and McGregor) a blockade of battleships, and come meet a young boy who may one day bring balance to the force. Meanwhile, the Sith resurface after being extinct after a millennium. Parents, if you want your children to become Star Wars fans, don't introduce them to the juggernaut outer-space franchise with this film, instead show them the original one first. I think this one, and that one might be the true kid-friendly films in the franchise.
