But while younger kids may be familiar with the franchise and its many spin-offs (like the animated Clone Wars), they might not be ready for some of The Force Awakens' more violent or emotional scenes. With little language ('dammit' and 'hell' are as strong as it gets) or sex, this is the kind of epic adventure that will undoubtedly appeal to Star Wars fans of all ages. Villains do order the mass murder of countless civilians, prisoners are coerced physically and with the Force, and duels lead to injuries and death, but none of it is bloody or gory. Abrams, the sequel takes place approximately 30 years after the events of The Return of the Jedi, and although there's tons of sci-fi action - space battles, crashes, explosions, lightsaber duels, and more - there's less violence overall than viewers saw in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Parents need to know that Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens is the hugely anticipated seventh installment in the big-screen Star Wars franchise, featuring new main characters as well as beloved favorites like Han Solo ( Harrison Ford), Leia Organa ( Carrie Fisher), and Chewbacca. Spoiler alert: Supporting characters are injured, one is presumed dead, and there's one very upsetting death.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Violence & Scariness in your kid's entertainment guide. A young man has debilitating anger issues. A man orders an entire village of civilians/witnesses slaughtered and cuts down an unarmed man. Large, monstrous creatures rampage through a ship other creatures look scary/threatening, and the leader of the First Order is creepy. Laser guns of all shapes and sizes (handheld, ship mounted, etc.) bombs. Quick glimpses of dead soldiers and civilians lying around.

Kylo Ren tortures people, both physically and with the Force. There's a weapon that can destroy entire systems, and there are explosive battle sequences in which people die and ships burst into flames.

Lots of sci-fci action violence on both the largest possible scale (planets obliterated) and much smaller (one-on-one lightsaber duels and firefights/shoot-outs), but hardly any blood/gore (with the exception of bloody fingerprints on a white stormtrooper helmet).
