I really don't know - I think that the mere *insinuation* of tortue 
and suffering will freak kids out (the unseen is often more vivdly 
imagined) - the scariest thing that I remember watching as a kid 
was "Jaws" (I saw it when I was about 8 or 9) and I swear that I 
wasn't able to watch the film in its entirety until I was well into 
my teens due to my hyperactive imagination filling in (and 
exaggerating) the bits that I kept closing my eyes for. On the other 
hand, perhaps children nowadays are a bit more cynical and 
sophisticated

Me:
I kept thinking about the end of the new Star Wars film ... and a 
certain character's wonderful shiny golden hand.
