Jump scares: I don't recall any but there are A LOT of loud explosions through out
I would say if you have kids that get easily attached to characters during a film, this one will be very, very tough. I usually don't get emotional during movies and I knew what was going to happen but I still got chocked up, a lot
If you are not sure, I would watch it without the kids first, you know your kids best. I have taken my 7 and 9 year old nephews to watch Force Awakens, I am not taking them to watch this one, but it's a personal choice."
I agree this is not anywhere near your typical Star wars movie. I made the mistake to take my 6 year of thinking is Star wars and he has seen all of them , clone wars series and rebels and loves them. Big Mistake. Very dark movie. If they are starting to go this route which I read Episode 8 is much darker then 7, I will have to screen them for my kids. By the way I did not like the movie and I am a huge Star Wars fan
