Also,

I think 'slasher' films are disgusting. I like deaths in combat, not straight out slaughter. War is very, very interesting to watch. Futuristic war is even more interesting -- and entertaining -- to watch. This is why death is needed. The Clone Wars took nearly two seasons to start showing/hinting at worse, grittier deaths (i.e. when the clone was sliced in half by one of the doors in the Citadel, every time One of the Ones was impaled by the blade, the wookiee stomping the Trandoshan's head in, Riff Tamson being blown apart, Pre Viszla being beheaded, etc.)
