I thought it was because "hitting on" suggested.... gasp!.... sexual interest between the future parents of Luke and Leia.
Well, yea- But would most little kids understand what "hitting on" someone means, other than in the literal sense?

I think it has to be the subtle innuendo they were alarmed about, not the violence. Otherwise, they would have objected to the fried pilots and the toasted Qui Gon Jinn and the attempted gassing and the... you get the idea.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.
I would think the term "hitting on" would fly over the kids heads, but I guess Disney was just trying to avoid parents having to explain what that means to their kids, so they could find it out from their friends instead.
I'm not making excuses for them. I'm just trying to figure out their reasoning.
