10 Most Disturbing Star Wars Moments
8. The Clone Wars Moment Too Dark For Cartoon Network
Despite taking place within the often colourful and vibrant landscape that is the animated corner of the Star Wars universe, one particularly savage act of violence turned out to be a little too extreme for TV by the time Clone Wars' Season Five episode by the name of 'Eminence' eventually reared its head.
Brought about by none other than Savage Opress, Maul's hulking brother, on the back of an attempt to convince The Black Sun to join The Shadow Collective, the latter's iconic lightsaber is ultimately used by the former to decapitate all sat at the table who refused to play ball with Maul.
Sure enough, Cartoon Network were a touch horrified by the sight of multiple smoking animated leaders without their heads, cutting the unsettling imagery from the episode when it originally aired on their channel.
But fear not, the gruesome culling of this council was still very much left intact when it came to the Director's Cut made available on Blu Ray and DVD! What a world.
