Have you noticed that when lightsabers make contact with flesh in ANH that they do different tricks than the other movies,
Aqualish's arm=blood.
Obi-Wan chopped in half=disappearing act.
All other saber wounds=burned shut.
ANH sets out different outlines for SW than anything else in the movies or EU. It's the original, all the OTHERS are the stupid ones who made mistakes.
Fact is, there 'should' be blood (inverted commas there because of the nature of 'should' in a totally non-scientific fictional setting), because even if the wounds are burnt shut, some of it is going to get out. ANH looks about right.
Trouble was, in the PT, it was going to look pretty darn un-PG if they followed that logic through like they had before.

thats pretty good statement, but luke's lightsaber did burn off a scale from that lava dragon to recruit gantoris

Maul gave out some blood, though.

That looked kinda like evaporated blood.Anyway, when Luke cut off the arm of the Wampa, it also bled. I honestly have no idea why, but the OT seems a lot less consistent than the PT on these things.

Apparently all spieces of metal react the same way then! 😛

Can you explain why Agen Kolar didnt start bleeding when he was run through with a lightsaber?
^no, I think he means it's pure speculation. Lucas most likely didn't sit back and say "hmm....Maul's flesh is going to cook at different temps than let's say a Wampa since he's a different species, so let's not make him bleed as much..."
Of course, you're entitled to your own assumption.
In the PG-kid friendly TPM movie, they weren't gonna show Maul's intestines falling out of his midsection as he fell down the shaft

Someone posed a question, I suggested a plausible answer with basis in fact. Do you have a problem with that?
😐
Why would I have a problem with it if I said "of course, you're entitled to your own assumption?" In fact, I actually think your explanation for Maul's encounter with the saber attributed to being a different species is pretty creative.

So instead, they show a spray of blood as he got bisected, essentially showing as much gore as would be allowed, seeing as the bisected body was then seen in it's totality.
His body split asunder is totally different than guts falling out of his torso. It's more comical than anything. You see Tom & Jerry do that to each other all the time, but you don't see Tom's intestines flailing about, spewing feces and bile all over... 😉
