The majority of the empisodes now don't have the Empire really involved anymore, and they're only terrorists from the point of view of the Empire. And TPM and AOTC are the worst things is called hyperbole.

I don't expect the man characters to die, I'm saying it would be nice to see some action instead of talking the entire time. And LIKE I KEEP SAYING: Path of the Jedi was pretty good. However, unlike what you've stated that "they're not afraid to show lightsaber deaths", you may have overlooked that it was just a vision and not an actual death itself. So in reality, yes they are afraid.

The stormtroopers aren't dead. You can somewhat see the rising of their chests as if they're only unconscious. Like in the Art Attack short, the stormtrooper (like a complete idiot and terrible way of showing the Empire) just stares at the thermal detonator within inches of it before it blows up in a ball of fire and paint and destroys several TIE fighters. Yet, when the fire and smoke clear, we see the stormtroopers lying on the ground, but very much alive. And from what we saw, there were no dead troopers after they fought those creatures in the base. Now I'll admit, there may be a short FEW deaths, but it's more rare than seeing an albino deer in your front lawn.
