   However, if you consider LEGO’s main licenses we have: Batman (most Batman sources are suitable for children eg. 60s tv show, comics, some films), Spiderman 1 and 2 films (PG13 for both films) and Star Wars (I believe these range from G to PG13).

Loathing him as I do, I can’t speak for the Spiderman films, but I’d say that the 60’s Batman tv show isn’t suitable for viewing by anyone. Also, in the US the Star Wars films have all received a PG rating with the exception of RotS which stands out as the only PG-13 episode, and one that Lucas himself has specifically said isn’t really intended to be viewed by the full range of ages as the previous five installments were, due to the much darker themes that were necessarily going to be explored with the destruction of the Jedi order and the fall of the Republic. They even had to make some minor tweaks going into the Special Editions (recutting certain scenes so you never actually saw naked-faced human officers and Death Star Troopers getting hit with blaster bolts...though it was perfectly okay when it came to armor-clad Stormtroopers and their more specialized cousins the Snowtroopers and Scout Troopers).

--snip-- (...) I don't think it can be quite so simple though. A lot of films are MA or PG13 (which any child can see if their parents take them IIRC) because of 'bad language' or nudity, neither of which are likely to make it to the toy product. (...)
