In-game purchases for cosmetic items and credits to speed up progression.
Imperial storylines have the player interrogate bound, helpless prisoners, with the option to shock them with Force lightning or have them beaten until they talk. Cutscenes also show captives being tortured for information.
Realistic combat with blasters and lightsabers against alien enemies; no gore or dismemberment.
Cantinas throughout the game are full of characters drinking at bars, and story missions deal with dealers and smugglers moving spice, the setting's illegal narcotic.

Companion storylines include romance arcs the player pursues through flirtatious dialogue options, with kissing and suggestive talk. Scenes fade out before anything sexual happens.
