Responding to queries from Yahoo Lifestyle SEA, a spokesperson from the media regulatory agency, the Infocomm Media Development Authority, said in a statement today (20 December), “Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker has been rated PG13 for theatrical release in Singapore. The applicant has omitted a brief scene which under the Film Classification Guidelines would require a higher rating.” The Rise Of Skywalker, the last film of the nine-episode Star Wars saga that has enthralled fans since 1977, was released globally this week and opened in Singapore cinemas yesterday (read our review here). In the uncensored version of the film, two women are seen embracing and kissing in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene featuring Resistance troops. In the cut version screened in Singapore, the two women embrace but are not seen kissing. The characters are played by unknown extras. A PG13 rating means parental guidance is recommended for children below 13. The other age-specific ratings are NC16 (No Children Under 16), M18 (Mature 18) and R21 (Restricted 21).

It’s not much of a spoiler. If you’re worried about spoiling the movie for yourself, maybe don’t click on a Star Wars thread on a Gaga site? Seems like you asked for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why LGBT+ representation in media MATTERS. A lot of people in the UAE are indifferent to LGBT issues but when they get to see relationships on-screen it adds much-needed exposure. Like surprisingly there was zero negative reactions to the gay couple in It: Chapter Two. Maybe from the extremely homophobic people but so far not even my conservative Muslim friends said anything. They felt bad for the characters actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doppelganger 4,021 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 That kiss honestly is so insignificant that it doesn't make the film any better or worse. Disney likes to pander to LGBT, but not brave enough to make a film that features or contains LGBT stories. It's still all about the bottom line for that corporation.

Well as long as no one was angry I guess it's a good sign..? But I always thought Singapore has a very vibrant gay scene?? Is it just legally there isn't much recognition or is it socially as well? Everyone I've met from Singapore has been super progressive and it seemed like the norm to me there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
