Netflix's
recent
release
Stranger
Things
Season
4
and
Disney+
Hotstar's
recent
show
Obi-Wan
Kenobi
have
added
content
warnings
after
the
tragic
school
shooting
in
Texas.
The
makers
of
both
shows
revealed
that
the
warning
has
been
added
to
the
first
episodes
which
feature
scenes
containing
violence
against
children.
Earlier
this
week,
an
elementary
school
in
Texas,
United
States,
witnessed
yet
another
tragic
episode
of
mass
shooting.
Many
celebrities
including
Priyanka
Chopra,
Taylor
Swift,
Jennifer
Aniston,
Selena
Gomez,
Jimmy
Kimmel
and
Matthew
McConaughey
expressed
their
anger
at
the
tragedy
and
asked
for
better
gun
laws.
Obi-Wan
Kenobi,
a
Star
Wars
spin-off
released
on
May
27,
began
with
a
scene
from
its
original
film,
Star
Wars
Episode
III:
Revenge
of
the
Sith,
in
which
a
group
of
younglings
(under-age
Jedi
padawans)
are
being
hunted
by
Imperial
Stormtroopers
in
the
Jedi
Temple.
Disney+'s
message
in
the
show
read,
"Although
this
fictional
series
is
a
continuation
of
the
story
from
Star
Wars
movies
filmed
many
years
ago,
some
scenes
may
be
upsetting
to
viewers
in
light
of
the
recent
tragic
events."
The
six-part
series
is
led
by
Ewan
McGregor
and
Hayden
Christensen
reprising
their
iconic
Star
Wars
roles
of
Obi-Wan
and
Anakin
Skywalker.
The
first
two
episodes
of
the
show
were
released
on
Friday.
Another
show
with
teens
getting
into
dire
situations
releasing
this
week
was
Netflix's
Stranger
Things.
The
fourth
season
follows
a
group
of
children
in
the
town
of
Hawkins
facing
threats
from
monsters
from
a
parallel
dimension
called
Upside
Down.
With
the
opening
episode
featuring
scenes
that
saw
children
in
danger,
Netflix
added
a
message
that
read
"Warning:
Contains
graphic
violence
involving
children," in
the
episode's
description.
The
makers
also
added
a
warning
ahead
of
the
season
recap
saying,
"We
filmed
this
season
of
Stranger
Things
a
year
ago.
But
given
the
recent
tragic
shooting
at
a
school
in
Texas,
viewers
may
find
the
opening
scene
of
episode
1
distressing.
We
are
deeply
saddened
by
this
unspeakable
violence,
and
our
hearts
go
out
to
every
family
mourning
a
loved
one."
Stranger
Things
Season
4
will
return
with
part
2
on
July
1,
2022.
