Violence

This series contains animated fantasy violence where characters shoot and stab each other with futuristic laser weapons. Many characters are killed onscreen in mostly non-bloody ways, and many more are implied to be killed offscreen.

Though the violence is cartoon-style, it goes on for long stretches, with robots, war machines, bombs, impalements, bashings, and beheadings.

Clone troopers are stepped on by monsters, but these scenes are not graphic or bloody.
