I mean when someone gets there arm choped of its like they have got no blood in his body, i mean where the hell has it all gone anyway, if they have no blood they would be dead, right?

Thats true i was wondering that and sometimes when they get slashed all you see is red powder , wow ..............

Its to do with the heat of the lightsabres, sealing the wound almost straight away (I think??)

if the heat seals the wound then how come there was blood pouring from ponda baba when ob1 chopped his arm off in anh in the cantina

Because his lightsaber crystal wasn't as strong anymore after so many years, or because the alien's blood was different than others, or maybe his skin was tougher or something.

_ehm... the force?
_thats your explanation for everything

sorry but no i dont believe that ,,,,,gl clearly made a mistake

Wow, just wow.

The lightsabers cauterise the wound. Try applying a hot iron to a massive gash. It heals it. Seeing as a lightsaber can melt foot-thick doors, it has enough oomph to seal a wound instantly after cutting.

As for the arm that Obi-Wan lops off in the cantina, that is a genuine mistake. Apparently it will be fixed in the DVD box set.

It's all pretty obvious.

i thinks its just so it aint gory for little kids

i do believe in the concept about it sealing wounds but its the ponda baba mistake that shades the theory in doubt

Yeah, to which I said it was a mistake. Lucas has said so.

Lightsabers cauterise the wound.

That is the only time where we see blood from a lightsaber injury; quite obviously a mistake. No need to make cheesy theories.

Yay! I got something right!

sheesh........no need for a bunch of blood in a Star Wars movie......

blood!!!!! i love it

Come here man, I got your blood....

giljotiini

everyone, here is the deal, Lightsabers have soooo much heat, the heat left blocks the blood pressure going to where the limp was chopped, in ANH, i guess it was a plot error (in AOTC, jango was decapitated, but no blood!)

cheesy theories ?

star wars is a cheesy movie so that gives an excuse to make cheesy theories

In that case, I mean theories that are cheesier than the movies.

It's called cauterization, since I have yet to see the word in here; seals the wound with intense heat. Lightsabers are super-heated plasma.

i thought there was no blood cuz it was rated pg and that george lucas created star wars for kids

Episode IV was rated pg and created for kids but still has blood...

Blood isn't the thing that pushes things up to PG-13. Maul has a small vaporizing amount of blood around him when he is cut in two.

exatally
like say they showed anakin and padme fu,ckin that would make it pg 13 scens of nudity and sexuality now if someone would get their head cut i half and blood gush evry were it would be pg13 but like as said b4 the lightsabers heat closes the wound stoping the blood from leavig the wound

this is no horror movie! there is no need for blood

i agree its a sci-fi kick ass saga

why did i come back here?

oh thanks i didnt get it
yea the wampa did have blood...humm eh another mistake

No, I went back, the blood I thought was from the saber was from the thing it was eating. My mistake....

and rember so was lukes lightsaber it was anakins so take that into your wonderin

and mist the wampa had blood on his arm were it was severed i watched it today

indeed, the OT needs to fix that blood stuff, lightsabers would not cause people to bleed, well...

its all been explained many times, so i wont bother.

yea theres no need to explain it anymore

Duh qestion, of course the reason why theres no blood in the Star Wars movie is because basically blasters and lightsabers shoot light/lazer LOL, so it just burns the wound, same principle in Rambo, when he lights the gun powder on his wound to burn it AKA cauterise it to stop the bleeding. in ANH when the guys arm bled of course that was just a mess up, it was the first movie and they were trying to figure out what the hell they were doing, lol, wasting minutes typing this anwser when someone should be able to come up with this themself.

Maybe the light saber only coterizes one side of the wound?
The parts that fall off have blood but the stuff connected to the body is coterized. maybe lukes hand is bleeding at the bottom of cloud city, maybe anakins arm is bleeding at dookus lair. maybe dookus head and hands are bleeding, how knows

The lightsaber is an all around lightsource (of course) so it cauterizes all around the wounds it creates.

Ponda Boba's bleeding arm and the wampa's bleeding arm are movie mistakes that Georgey boy himself has admitted he farked up on.

Though, we're not sure that the Wampa's arm bled; he was eating something bloody beforehand.

Yes he was, but look at the trail of blood coming from his stump. It's localizing from the wound, not from his mouth where he was eating food.

Oddly this should have been fixed for the SE since they were already working on TPM and in the SE they even ADDED a scene with the new Wampa and his bleeding stump.

Weird.

Well, cauterization can wear off, can't it?

sweet lord were still argueing this sob! look it was a mistake thats it final!

Where's the fun in that?

The reason the wounds don't bleed is that lightsabres cauterise wounds. Ponda Baba in the cantina didn't bleed because his species flesh doesn't cauterise, or because Kenobi turned the power down.

That is WAY more fun than saying **** like "it's a mistake" or "to keep the rating down". Use your imaginations.

Even if an arm was chopped off (say ANH) there is still blood, but it's dried and cauterized.

SWEET LORD *SIGH* w/e!

Can we close this now or move to EU section??

All right, All right, Ken close this down

It was a mistake; lightsabers either cut through everything and leave cauterized wounds, or are turned down for training, and simply leave slight burns. Aqualish are no different from any other species in Star Wars; Anakin hacks one down on his Separatist slaughter, and we don't see blood.

How?

The power of moderator!

mods should know how to close threads cuz now this thread is...

The blood is actually in The Phantom Menace when Qui-Gon gets stabbed and when Darth Maul gets chopped in half and that was PG i think there should have been some blood in Revenge Of The Sith because it was rated PG-13.

it was his robe burnt not blood
and rots was rated pg-13 for the violence and anakin burning

Whenwas it ever shown or implied that the power levels of lightsabers could be turned down? It's a gaffe, pure and simple. A mistake, like Jar Jar.

EU, Noodly. Padawans in EU, for lightsaber training, use low-power crystal so that they don't have a bunch of limbless younglings.

And Ken's not a moderator any more, get with the times!

The answer for the wampa is that Hoth is too cold for lightsabers to properly burn things

Did the tauntaun bleed? I cant remember, I havent watched it in a while..

no the tauntun did not bleed

Ken's not a mod anymore? What??

He stepped down; he's had enough of the Ep3 forum's constant bickering...

No, the Taun-taun just had it's guts pour out; no blood.

Why do we need blood in SW? Why is blood so important to us that we must ask about it in SW? Maybe Lucas had Sabers cauterize the wounds so little kids could watch too! Any thoughts on this? Mm?

Kids? Pah!

Maybe Lucas was so into all the special effects scenes he wanted, he didn't have time to think about blood. Or yeah, it might have been too gory for young kids.

A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far Far Away.....There Was No Blood
And Now The Banana Will Dance....
