Luke is swinging a lightsaber into dozens of people but none of them receive visible injuries

Come on, these are supposed to be kid friendly movies.

Before ROTJ we’d only ever seen a Jedi use his Saber against people once before and yes we saw a severed limb on the floor. That was pretty extreme and borderline for a kids film but limbs flying everywhere as Luke hacks Jabba’s minions left, right and center would be a clear R-rating dude. Of course, Ben Burtt does a lot with his soundfx in the sail barge scene with sounds of flesh being sliced/burned, screams from the dying, guts being sliced open etc.

Because there are no “visible injuries” in the shower scene in Psycho, does that make it not violent?
