"Darkness"?

Star Wars is kinda a fairy tale. I don't mind 'darkness' involving destruction, scariness, fear, even pain and death.

'Darkness' like the Batman "Arkham Asylum" games I can do without. I'd hate to see everyone be dirty physically, bad language, sexual content, drugs, degradation, and revealing outfits be (as is all too common) offered up as a thin layer of 'adult sophistication.'

I agree. There have been darker versions of fairy tales but they dont have to be gothic.

Star Wars, the good ones anyways, have had a nice mixture of light hearted action, comic relief, romance, dark whatever, sci-fi, fantasy, western and everything in between.

But for really dark themes and mood, other sci fi franchises fill that niche just fine.
