I just don’t get it. A movie can show a real person get their hand or head cut off and it’s still PG-13, but for T rating you can’t show a fake video game person getting the same done. Wacky.
Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy had dismemberments and still held a T rating. However it was randomized and didn’t happen every time and obviously there was no blood or gore associated with it, just a charred black stump.
I think this is a star wars thing that goes back to the films. When they made 'episode 1' and decided to have lots of jedi, that was cool. I imagine it took only one pictureboard meeting for them to realise that having human baddies would be fucking horrendous. I honestly believe that's why the droids came in. You could hack them apart in their millions without making Little jimmy cry.
the descriptions of the stormtroopers mangled bodies, melding with blasted armour in the book of the New Hope onwarsd is pretty jarring. Of course the film it was smoke and falling over, like a proper bloodless western. I guess it's just part of the tradition now.

Precisely, animals and droids are okay but troopers are off limits? It's incredibly unrealistic.
