I held off because it is PG-13 and I was worried about my youngest. Because of their love for Star Wars, they have been begging to watch The Force Awakens. Over the past year I finally let them watch the original trilogy, which they loved so much. I have long resisted the "new" Star Wars movies, being a fan of the original trilogy from my childhood. A light saber goes through Hans and that's it, no visible trauma. My 9 year old was fascinated but not upset. It is clear a few minutes before this is about to happen, and as we talked about it beforehand my 7 year old chose not to watch that part.

Parents need to know that Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens is the hugely anticipated seventh installment in the big-screen Star Wars franchise, featuring new main characters as well as beloved favorites like Han Solo ( Harrison Ford), Leia Organa ( Carrie Fisher), and Chewbacca.
