Hell, the trailers have thus far been pretty intense.... I'm not surprised, and actually rather grateful that it is PG-13.
Besides, if you think about it, PG-13 is the new PG anyway.
Today's scale:
PG = G
PG-13 = PG

The original Star Trek film had a G rating in 1979 and 1980 and that movie featured two Starfleet officers being turned into bubbling casseroles by a transporter malfunction as they let out horrible screams. The movie rating system has always been a little odd and inconsistent and often reflective of the era in which a particular film was released.
TWOK was downgraded to a "12". There WAS a PG version released on VHS, but that was edited.
I'm disappointed at the (presumably) 12A rating TFA will get in the UK. I wanted to take my two sons (7 and 9) to see it. I'd have a better chance convincing the wife if it had been PG!
Is it mandatory over there that no one under 12 may see a 12A rated film, regardless of adult accompaniment?

At least there's nothing in your face like "qui gon jinn dies" for the soundtrack
The soundtrack listing does suggest a general outline of the film, though, so I'd say it's still spoilery.
Well of course it does, it would be daft if say the track listings had no link to the actually happenings in the film.

Eh, if it's a little bit spoilery it's not a big deal for me. The title listings don't spell out any critical plot points or details or reveal who dies in the film, and at this point I imagine most of us know that Maz Kanata plays a major role in the movie and that by the end of the film at least one of the lead characters is on the path to becoming a Jedi.
Even the soundtrack spoiler that Qui-Gon died in Episode I wasn't enough to ruin the emotional impact the first Prequel had when I saw it in the theater. The past three soundtrack albums have gone out of their way to not reveal too much to listeners before they go see the movies for the first time and I don't think that this one's any different.

New minute long teaser from Facebook gives us some additional dialogue and scenes (although building off scenes we've seen before instead of entirely new ones):

Okie dokie.
Thanks for posting this link, man! I didn't know this new one existed until now.
