Have the films ever been violent?
I don't recall ever thinking they were, characters frequently get limbs cut off with no blood, Obi-Wan 'dies' by disappearing and not even getting cut down, even Qui-Gon in the first one isn't even a violent death.
I just don't think it's a part of the franchise in general.
- executesorder66 11y agoWell I wouldn't say they are violent films. Compared to an action movie for example. But as you mentioned limbs get cut off (and you see it happen). And when Qui-Gon was killed you see the light saber go through him. So it's not that I wish there was more blood/gore or anything. It's just that for a relatively un-violent movie series, it seems like they went out of their way to shield people from the violence in this movie, as if it is a children's movie like Narnia. And that pissed me off.
- veddox 11y agoActually Star Wars is incredibly popular among pre-teen boys, at least here in Germany. For their sakes I'm quite glad they didn't put in too much gore.
- DanBC 11y ago> as if it is a children's movie It is a children's movie. EDIT: That's not a bad thing, but it's really freaking obvious that Disney aren't going to suddenly change this massively lucrative franchise to be 12+.
