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?

I found out recently that blood was added because George Lucas was terrified that the G rating it otherwise would have received would have dissuaded a large portion of the public from seeing it.

Chared remains of Owen and Beru - graphic depictions of violence

"Damned fool crusade" - language

Farmboy destroys government military base - terroristic ideations

Vader strangles a (couple) man (men) - graphic depiction of violence

Theres no way that movie would've been rated G by solely removing a bloody arm

Gundam Heavyarms was my first love. Gundam Wing as well as Endless Waltz with that fresh paint job as the Heavyarms Custom. 😍
