Grand,

Star Wars wasn't meant for children for the most part. Sure, they were kid friendly, but overall, you don't make a children's movie where people are getting choked.
I’m not trying to fuss for the sake of fussing, but Disney movies, clearly intended for children, have been filled with murder, the occult, dead parents, witches, kidnapping, etc. Far heavier themes than the occasional severed limb and teddy bear vs stormtrooper battle. Star Wars is a fantasy adventure series for children. It is great, and I grew up at exactly the right time to enjoy the original trilogy.
