Star Wars Age-by-Age Guide
Find out which Star Wars movies, TV shows, books, games, and apps are appropriate for every age.
Kids of all ages have been fans of the Star Wars franchise since 1977. Even kids as young as 2 and 3 can name all of the major characters, which often tempts parents to plan a Star Wars movie night. It may also spark questions about what content is ok to bring in when.
Not all Star Wars content is the same when it comes to intensity. The silly fun of Lego Star Wars is a lot easier for younger kids to handle than Revenge of the Sith.
If your family is ready for lightsabers, here's a complete age guide for enjoying Star Wars with your kids. Keep in mind that all kids are different, so consider your child's ability to handle peril and conflict before making the jump to hyperspace.
