Who was talking about vital organs ? I was talking about "cut him into pieces" to disable him enough that he can't continue fighting. I personally don't see him pulling a Durge here and have his arms or legs grow back on his body or remain in position after seperating them from it since we have seen that some parts of his body were simply "gone" already.

Yeah but gameplay aside... wouldn't it be logical for the Exile who fought him twice to aim for his body parts. I mean he was the superior fighter and even a Jedi is allowed to take off somebody his hands if that is needed in a fight, so why wouldn't he?
Well...how long did they fight ? First time Kreia interrupted them and the second time the Exile broke Sion's will. And we have basically seen that Sion can't keep parts of his body where they are in case they are cut off or "vaporized" (considering a blaster hit).
I think everyone's making unsupported assumptions when dealing with Sion and declaring it evident and logical truth. This is not the case.
Sion's body is described literally as being "broken, fractured" and obviously burnt and scarred in thousands of different places. I don't need to bust into a medical lesson to remind everyone how infeasible it is for a body to remain like that without almost supernatural aid. And indeed, Sion is described many times as surviving through his sheer will and control of the Force alone. It is only when he gives up the will to live and survive that he falls apart.
What instances are there of Sion being susceptible to blaster bolts? None. Lightsaber strikes? None. If anything, why would the Exile be forced into fighting Sion's will when he could be reasonably hacking his body into pieces? Wouldn't hacking Sion apart be easier? Or something else like kicking him into the Malachor V core?
I think you guys need to add conditionals to your observations on Sion; specifically, IF Sion can be hacked part THEN Person A may/may not be able to do it. Otherwise, you need to prove that Sion's will and power of the Force can be overcome by a lightsaber (When canonically it never was.)

Easier said than done. The Exile was a much greater duelist than Darth Sion but that doesn't mean than Sion couldn't have defended his vital organs properly. He's not just some shit ass duelist.
