violence
There is some mild violence, but all in a clear fantasy setting. Most of the violence is theatrical and bloodless, lacking in any strong detail. The strongest examples include sight of a man using a light saber in a bar brawl and slicing off an alien's arm; we briefly see the arm on the floor. There is also the sight of some charred bodies after a family is attacked, and some scuffles and fights with fantasy weapons including ray guns and light sabers. The baddie Darth Vader also grabs subordinates and enemies by the neck, killing them.

violence
There are some scenes of fighting between spaceships and some violence involving the use of fantasy weapons, such as laser guns and swords. There is little sight of injuries.
threat and horror
The ruthless main villain lifts his henchmen off the ground, sometimes using his hand and sometimes using an invisible force. He also threatens people with torture, although this is not shown.
language
There is some very mild bad language ('hell' and 'damn').
injury detail
There is sight of skeletons on the floor after an attack by the villains but the scene in not very graphic. At one point an arm is cut off using a lightsaber and the arm is seen lying on the ground.
