Vader abuses Leia but he doesn’t seem to know they’re related yet and never takes a parental role.

a sideways lie about a family member is told, but this is not gaslighting as the person being lied to is only hearing a lie and not being made to believe they are insane, silly, or stupid for believing otherwise. gaslighting is a combination of lying and victim blaming NOT just lying.

A character's arm is cut off by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the cantina. The actual amputation occurs mostly off-screen, but a shot of the severed forearm is shown. There is some blood on the arm but overall, not very graphic.

You could interpret Tusken Raiders as either Arab or Native American stereotypes. Likewise, the Jawas have been compared to stereotypes of Romani. Both are aliens so that could lessen it for some people, not to mention these accusations are nowhere near as common as the ones for Prequel Trilogy aliens.

the Jedi rely very strongly on denying their emotions and all the Jedi in this story are men. nobody is ridiculed for crying but the main character is pushed by all his mentors to move past his petty feelings to become stronger

There is a very tense scene where a character is dragged underwater by an alien tentacle creature. His friends struggle to save him. He breathes uncomfortably raggedly and goes under several times. When the creature lets him go, he coughs profusely.
