Frightening scenes

Characters often find themselves in perilous situations from which they sometimes barely escape. There are explosions, space fights involving blasters and laser cannons, and other dangers.

In one scene, we see a beast's large arm come out from behind a wall and grab two characters, pulling them away from view. Two characters watch on in horror, one of which says, “it... it... ate those pirates.”

Various characters are seen crashing their spaceships, sometimes resulting in explosions, implying their deaths, but we only see the ship crash.

There are scenes where whole planets are destroyed, implying many deaths, but the casualties may go over younger viewers heads.
