violence

A character is stabbed with a lightsaber during a duel, with limited bloody aftermath detail. It is implied that a villainous character is slashed below frame; this is accompanied by a faint mist of blood and undetailed sight of a severed body in the aftermath. Other scenes of fantasy violence include spaceship dogfights, impressionistic blows and battle sequences using fantastical laser weaponry and lightsabers.

threat and horror

Vehicles spectacularly crash and characters skilfully dodge fantastical gunfire during a prolonged and suspenseful racing scene. A man dangles over a sheer drop and a boy escapes a rapidly exploding battleship. However, these scenes contain an emphasis on the bravery and resourcefulness of characters.

rude humour

Infrequent scenes of very mild rude humour include an animal breaking wind.

injury detail

There is undetailed sight of a body engulfed in flames on a funeral pyre. However, this is devoid of any injury detail.

theme

A child tearfully bids farewell to his mother.

Paperwork Remarks:

violence

The film contains several battle scenes, lightsaber duels and chase/escape sequences. The violence mainly takes place during skirmishes between human and non-human characters such as robots. However one prominent lightsaber fight takes place between two main characters and a villain. During the sequence a key character is killed, after which a small dark patch is seen on a cloak. Later in the film, another character is cut in two when he is hit by a lightsaber strike.This occurs offscreen, although a very faint red mist is briefly visible indicating the strike has occurred. After this, the two parts of the body fall down a chasm, although without any blood or injury detail. The film includes a racing scene in which a young boy is in danger; however, he is presented as resourceful and skilled. Other chases and battles are presented but with a clear fantastical element.

additional issues: The film also includes some very mild rude humour, including an animal breaking wind.
