The Mandalorian and Grogu Lands With PG-13 Rating, Recommended for Kids 11 and Older

Disney’s “The Mandalorian and Grogu” arrives in theaters May 22 with a PG-13 rating, and the parental guide recommends it for children 11 and older.
Sci-fi violence drives that guidance: the 2-hour-12-minute film features laser battles, gladiator-style fights, scary monsters, brief torture shots and one swift killing, though no lightsabers.
Grogu’s comic moments soften the tone, and the movie is described as less traumatizing than darker “Star Wars” entries such as “Revenge of the Sith” or “The Empire Strikes Back.”
The story follows Din Djarin and Grogu as they rescue Rotta the Hutt from criminal syndicates, giving the film a space-mafia feel that may be too intense for younger kids.
