News has hit overnight that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has bagged itself a PG-13 rating from the MPAA in the United States; only the second Star Wars movie to ever get the certificate after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith.
J.J. Abrams has officially finished up work in his biggest ever movie, which heads for cinemas in the US on December 18th, and the UK on December 17th.
The film, set 30 years after the events of Return Of The Jedi, stars Harrison Ford, Andy Serkis, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac, Max von Sydow, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Lupita Nyong’o, Crystal Clarke, Pip Anderson, Christina Chong, and Miltos Yerolemou.
Not guaranteed, but it is probable that the film will get a 12A in the UK. We’ll give you more word as soon as Lucasfilm and Disney have shown it to the BBFC.
