You imagined it. Lightsabers immediately cauterize a wound.

Ah... Hmmm... I.... Well... You see... uhh..... Nevermind. I guess I forgot
about that. Of course it's the only time we see blood from a Lightsaber
wound. (Think Jabba's sail barge in ROTJ)...

I saw a bloodspray

I saw it. In theory it should cauterize the wound, but i did see blood. Or
maybe blood colored steam. i dunno, but i did see it.

Try spinning. That's a good trick.

Yep, it was there..Kudos to Lucas for not wimping out on that.

Or Luke's Hand on Bespin. Or Qui-Gon's chest/back, where we only saw scorch
marks. Hell, the tauntaun on Hoth didn't bleed, or the Wampa that lost its
arm. Ponda Baba is the _only_ example of someone bleeding from a lightsaber
wound in the films.

- Vermilion, taking all subsequent sources as canon and overlooking the
cantina aberration.

I saw a flash of the light-saber through the blood.

Well, if you noticed, that arm looked hollow--- the light saber can't cauterize
air, so blood can still flow outward

I think the Wampa, in the Special Edition, was holding a bloody stump.

I think you like me, because I'm a scoundrel.
No. Do, or do not. There is no try.

Was the cutting off of Luke's hand in ESB a "wimp-out?" This is a fairy tale,
and gore is not appropriate. It wasn't that bad here really, I mean it
wasn't Friday the 13th, but geez, a visible sucking flesh wound in Qui-Gon...and
seeing Maul cut in half was a jarring distraction to me. At least there were no
guts lying on the ground.

I thought the addition of the wailing dismembered Wampa was a detraction from
the original scene. Again too much gore. Lucas even by the time of the SEs
seems to have completely lost his sense of suspense. It's enough to see the
look in Luke's eyes as he runs away, leaving us to imagine how angry this
wounded creature might have been. Likewise the addition of Audrey II's mouth to
the Sarlacc... Lucas became obsessed with filling in every blank space with a
special effect, just so he could play with his computer graphics, overlooking
the way a storyteller uses those blank spaces to activate an audience's
imagination and involve them further.

Nope, go see it at a better theater. There's definately a spray of blood.

It sprayed out across the bottom of tje screen as a fine vaporized mist.

[JaysenM]

I'm telling you all... The red is the glow of the saber THROUGH his blood,
just before the saber seals the wounds.

[Squirrel Police]

I've seen it twice, and there was definately a spray of blood.
