My girlfriend has wanted to see Star Wars III for a long time but i haven't let her b/c of 3 things:
1) children get killed in a "jedi" temple
2) a woman dies in childbirth
3) "jedis" get murdered.
However, she has been really good lately and I wanted to do something special for her 24th birthday. Would it be a good idea to tell her to close her eyes while i forwarded through the bad parts? Do you think she would still enjoy it?

Let her watch it--it's a really great movie.

On another note, I think I've got you figured out. I'd send you a private message detailing this, but you do not have that function enabled. So allow me to present my thoughts to you here, on this forum.

You've repeatedly asked questions about biblical law, believing things to be 100% literal, down-to-the-letter true of biblical truth. For example, you ask questions regarding relations with a menstruating woman (Orthodox Judaism, (Leviticus: 15:19-30, 18:19, 20:18), marriage (which seems to be based on historical/biblical marriages), wife's submission (based on Ephesians 5:22-23) as well as multiple other questions that express a extremely religious viewpoint.

My problem in this, is that I cannot seem to make a connection between your personal beliefs and any other religion. Some questions seem purely Judaic in thought (especially your questions regarding menstruation, which is exemplified in Orthodox Judaism) while other thoughts are focused towards Christianity through the eyes of Paul. So, while I have been trying to reconcile what form of Judaic or Christian belief you are following, I can't seem to pinpoint where you truly stand in a religious sense.

Which leads me to one hopeful conclusion: you are just screwing with us all. You are playing a game, similar to the game that some supposed Christians play. You are posing a question based on theology that seems archaic to us in common times. You are trying to create reactions, and possibly hoping that some people will realize "Wait--if I don't listen to what the Bible says about eating pork, or shrimp, then maybe I can also disregard writings about these other things, also."

This is what I feel--and this is what I hope to be true. Otherwise, if you are truly expressing your feelings and beliefs through your questions, then I feel that you may be living with an outdated belief system that does not seem to fit into societies' outlook on women, submission, and theology.

I wish the best of luck to you, and I hope you indeed find the answers you are searching for.

Who let YOU use the internet today?! ha ha ha!

If she is too vulnerable to watch Star Wars III then she is too vulnerable to be anyone's girlfriend. You can't have it both ways. Either she is an adult aged child and you are a sick predator, or she is a mature adult who can watch whatever she chooses.

If she is 24 and can' t handle Star Wars then how does she handle being in a relationship?
Also why are you picking her movies and "allowing" her to see them? She's a grown woman and can decide for herself what to see.

Wow you are a real winner. controling what girlfriend watches when she is 24 years old. She old enough to watch anything she goddamn well wants...I hate men like you trying to control women ..It gives all of us good guys a bad name.
You need to grow up and let her have some freedom and stop controling her..or she needs to leave you for someone not soo stupid and controling.

i don't know, but how old were u when ur mommy let YOU watch "grown-up" movies? oh, u still have to ask her? anyways, i think it's safe for u & ur blow-up doll to watch the edited, kiddie version of star wars as long as u both close ur eyes during the 'naughty' parts. if norman bates & his looney tunes mother ever had a son, u'd be it, psycho.

She is 24 not 4 and you should stop treating her like she's a child. Why do you get to control what she watches? What did she do before you?? Who made her decisions then?

lol... those are reasons to not let her see it.. if they hold some significant reference to her and could upset her...
however it is a film... and she wants to watch it.. dont fast forward through the bad bits.. just warn her before hand and ask her if she would like you to skip those bits, or warn her just before they come on.
she shouldn't have a problem with it... i dont know anyone who has yet...
just let her watch it... you don't have to protect her from everything!!!
besides if you do start trying to.. she may become dependant and u may not be there when she needs you and she won't know what to do!! she needs a little independance!! but yes.. let her watch the film.

I don't believe a girl wants to watch star wars, that is so rare. Definatly let her but give her fair warning about the...unpleasent parts.

You say, "She has been really good lately"....what is she your child too? I'm sorry, but it is just a movie, not an actual event. She's 23 going to be 24...I don't think she needs your permission to do anything.

It's worth watching.

You forgot to mention that there are multiple dismemberments and a guy get's burned alive (to me, this was the most uncomfortable scene in the film.)
