Reply #33: Depends on which one and depends on the kid. (I have a 7yo son obsessed with Star Wars)

The original ones from 76-84 are perfectly fine for a 5 year old. There is some violence in some of the later ones (which precede the old ones in terms of the story line) that I wasn't comfortable with before but am probably fine with now that ds is 7yo.

Honestly, I think you're over reacting a bit. I venture to guess you don't have any older kids? It's REALLY hard to shelter kids completely when older sibs are in the house. I also have a 13 yo, and when now 7yo ds was 3-4, my 13 yo got a boxed set of Harry Potter dvd's for Christmas. HP can be just as violent as SW, imo. They watched them in the car on the way to St. Louis (12 hours). Ds was fine. He's not easily scared, though.
