Mild violence

A droid finds a pile of scraps, thinking his friend was eaten by “corrosive acid salt.” This make him very sad, however, he finds that his friend is okay and unharmed.

This show contains some explosions and space laser weapons being shot at main characters. However, injury and death are rare and not directly shown. The show focuses more on problem solving than violence.

Frightening scenes

This show contains some intense scenes involving high-speed spaceship chases and battles, but a lot of these scenes are broken up by humour.

In one scene, the main characters find that their ship has entered a meteor storm, which puts them in danger.
