Sex & Nudity

  • A statue of a nude woman is in the background of Padme's office in Coruscant, but it's barely noticeable and not very realistic.
  • There is a woman standing close to Jabba the Hutt, with a metal bikini like leia's in Episode VI.
  • There are two female humanoid aliens, who are giving Sebulba a pedicure, that are wearing mesh outfits, some cleavage is shown.
  • R2 D2 tells C3PO that his "parts" are showing.

Violence & Gore

  • A man uses his light saber to cut another man in half. We see the other man's shocked reaction and some red mist, and he falls into a pit with his lower body falling away from his upper body. Apart from the very brief red mist, we don't see any more blood or gore.
  • At the instruction of a villain, a ship is fired upon by laser turrets and explodes with two pilots, a man, and a woman inside.
  • A sea monster is violently torn in half by a larger sea monster. Later another sea creature bites a gar-like creature's tail.
  • Jabba the Hutt bites a small creature's head off and spits it on a gong. Blood spatters.
  • Using rifles with scopes, some spectating Sand People fire upon the pod racers. One racer's vehicle is damaged by a bullet and destabilizes, killing the operator.
  • Uniformed combatants are killed in aerial and terrestrial combat with robots, but no blood is evident. Several bodies are shown lying dead on the ground while pilots are shown exploding in their starfighter crafts the moment the craft is hit by laser fire.
  • Two men battle an alien in an intense lightsaber dual.
  • A man is stabbed in the middle of his torso. He gasps in pain and falls to the ground, and can be briefly seen having a hole through his back.
  • A man slices another man in two, and both halves of him can be clearly seen when he falls down a shaft. Blood powder sprays out, but the actual cut is not shown.
  • A space station explodes, killing all of the sentient beings aboard it.
  • Many robots are sliced in half, dismembered, stabbed, decapitated, slashed, or gunned down.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • While it has some intense moments, it is easily the most upbeat and lighthearted Star Wars film due to a young Anakin and Jar Jar having a lot of screentime.
  • Many racers, who are strange aliens, are killed or injured in a pod race. It is not bloody or graphic but very intense.
  • The battle near the end of the film is intense but with minimal to no blood at all. Only several dead bodies are visible. A child, only slightly nevous, is caught up in the violence as well, being fired upon by enemy forces and, through using his starfighter craft, firing upon them accordingly.
