I think the interrogation/torture scenes pretty much warrant a PG-13 rating. Someone on TheForce.net claims that in one of their viewings parents covered their kids eyes when Kylo was mind probing Rey.
Seriously if you watch he never touches Rey and he also takes his mask off changing him from a monster to a softly spoken young lad. There is nothing remotely hinting at torture in the scene. You can bet there was a version where he kept his mask on though.
He touched and violated her mind with the Force. He even made one of the most rapey statements I ever heard when he said “I can take whatever I want”.
Foot massage?

What messages you can take away from censoring somone with a grazed head are not only odorous but also ominous. What is the point?
Nothing. I hope they add it back. They’re marketing this as a war film so we should see some gore. I don’t want Quentin Tarantino type gore but something. If it’s okay to see Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen’s burnt corpses then it should be okay to see blood on a guy’s forehead.

There are other things like Finn saying “Hell no”, his horrific injury at the hand of Kylo Ren, Poe’s face being bloody during the interrogation scene etc. that makes it obvious why this is a PG-13 film.
You can say “Hell” and even “Damn” in a G rated film. At least one used to be able to.
It was a simpler and better time back then.
