ALSO....I'm really not likling the Disney Rated G for Kids. Sigh. Things like when they lock up the characters...whatever.
Why does Mal go from TRYING to kill them to 'oh I'll just knock them out and put them in a cell".

Mal? I'm getting Firefly flashbacks.
The show gives me the impression that the main character is trying to get some kind of redemption. Episode 6 hints at a past soaked in blood. The characters he shares history with are very unsympathetic and violent. And, while they clearly don't like him, they don't think he's soft.
So far, almost everyone he's killed has been either a droid, or else trying to kill him or the child.
The exception to this is the jawas he disintegrated, but they were stripping his ship and destroyed his livelihood.
In the Old West, horse thieves were hanged, and with good reason.
