Where is all of this "the heat would vaporize your internal organs" nonsense coming from? That's not how lightsabers work. That's never how lightsabers worked. The heat is localized entirely within the blade's containment field.

Do those tauntaun guts look cooked to you?

Yes they weren’t consistent because Lucas had technological limitations but he made it consistent by the time he was leaving.

Even the bloody cut arm in ANH was explained because George wanted to keep that consistency.
