In the Season 5 episode "The Lawless", a semi-major female character is suspended in the air and Force-choked for several prolonged moments by an evil character as he taunts the woman's love interest. The evil character then runs the woman through suddenly with his darksaber (we see her shocked and pained face), and the woman dies a moment later in her love interest's arms. This is an extremely intense and difficult scene.
The show progressively gets more and more violent with each season. The show starts off light hearted and directed to a younger audience but gets surprisingly violent and dark as it goes on. For example, a group of slavers kidnap multiple innocents, then let them loose in a jungle and hunt/kill them for sport.
As the show goes on the violence increases with frequent dismemberment, suicide and executions. In one instance it's heavily implied multiple kids are killed right after the scene cuts. This show is very dark and mature for a cartoon, and its marketing as a kids show is very misleading.
In the season 7 episode "Shattered", a clone's arm was cut off by a closing blast door. The scene is considerably graphic, as the cut off hand and arm was shown clearly for a few seconds. No blood is shown on the scene.
Almost every episode shows clones getting killed, usually getting shot
There is a lot of bloodless violence; some can be somewhat explicit
In an episode with an ongoing underwater war, bombs are being stabbed into a few people's chests by an antagonist, before exploding them into ashes. The antagonist later gets blown into pieces by a protagonist with the same type of bomb. This scene is extremely gory, showing blood mixed with water (even though it's black), pieces of body parts, and the decapitated, lifeless head of the antagonist. This scene is one of the most disturbing throughout the whole series.
A protagonist decapitate FIVE antagonists at once. Even though the antagonists are wearing helmets, this scene can be very disturbing, considering it is done by a major character.
A semi-major antagonist decapitates a man after a long duel. The victim gracefully waits for his death and the murderer is seen raising his lightsaber and bringing it down. Although the camera moves behind a woman as the decapitation happens, the tumbling body of the victim is shown for a second. In DVD/Blu-Ray releases of the episode, a scene is added, showing the man's headless body from a distance.
Electrocution is very frequent throughout the series. In a Season 2 episode, a Jedi is being tortured and electrocuted to death. The scene is long and painful, as it shows the twitching of the Jedi's hand. The Jedi falls to the ground lifelessly after endless torture. Extremely disturbing for an early season, where the graphic and gory scenes are still few and far between.
The number of casualties in the series is shockingly high for an animated show. Thousands of people are being killed on and offscreen in the span of a few seasons. However, it is a war show, therefore most of the casualties are military related.

Depictions of violence tend to involve laser gun shootings, massive explosions, Jedi-saber fights, and giant alien monster attacks. Younger viewers may still view this series since these depictions are without gore and do not portray cruel inflections. Nevertheless, battle violence is prevalent.
[The Complete Season Two]
Violence consists of many depictions of sci-fi action where people, robots, spacecraft and more are killed or destroyed by various weapons, while various forms of fighting (i.e. light-saber duels) also occur.
Mild battle scenes are present in every episode in this season. Typically, the characters in the series go into battle using laser beams, laser swords or guns. In these battle sequences, explosions and giant alien monster attacks are also portrayed.
Occasionally, some severed but non-bloody heads are seen, and that, combined with the violence and various moments containing potential disastrous peril may prove unsettling and/or suspenseful to some younger viewers, such as children.
Mild action violence also include various Jedi-saber fights and some physical brawls that include punches and kicks between characters. However, younger viewers should be able to view these scenes accompanied with a parent as its portrayal of violence does not dwell on infliction of pain or torture.
[The Complete Season Three]
Violence consists of all sorts of sci-fi action where humans, robots and alien creatures are killed by various weapons; typically involving laser swords and guns, and the explosions of many spacecrafts.
