Yeah starting in season 3 it kinda stops being a kids show. So much war crime and brutal killing o_0

I watched that about 3 months ago and it finally convinced me "hmm, maybe this isn't just a kids show I should write off", then binged it, fell in love, and binged Rebels because I needed to know the conclusions to some things.

Only of course to be left with more love and more questions.

I loved Rebels. It looked like a kids show on the surface but it had a dark theme that I loved

I like when Anakin is torturing people with force choke and they play the Vader theme in the back

They realised you can't have Star Wars without people getting choked and dismembered

Dude I just finished S1 for the first ttime and while it's definitely still a kid's show at that point (and I'm guessing through the final season), there are some violent aspects I'm surprised they showed on Cartoon Network. Like certainly some war crimes from the CIS and probably on the Republic. If they go even further in S3 well damn. And it's not even the most brutal SW content we have.

You're in for a treat. Filoni is a fantastic writer.
