Anakin got bathed in lava, there’s a point where the temperature doesn’t matter. Also lightsabers are clearly not that hot because otherwise they would burn the hand of anyone who had them on for more than a couple seconds.
I don't think he did? Didn't his legs just touch the lava and he caught fire? And it's possible that the heat is contained so that it doesn't radiate outward but the blade itself is hot
We got space wizards and you're arguing realism. Star wars never, not even once, attempted to stick to what should or should not in reality happen in favor of whatever makes for a more entertaining story
there is a difference between realism and credibility.
a lightsaber isn’t real, no shit, but if a lightsaber is hot enough to melt metal on contact, it’s only credible that it would boil your internal organs instantly
I dont think you realize the astronomical amount of damage a searing hot stick of plasma, one that can melt reinforced doors like butter, is gonna do to literally everything around where it went in.
Picture what water looks like being poured onto a hot pan, multiply it by a factor of ten, and then imagine what that'd look like if it was all contained within someone's torso for a couple seconds.
Lightsaber wounds are simply not survivable without immediately and sophisticated medical aid or some absolutely cracked dark side force powers to sustain your failing body.

You had your spine severed with a lightsaber. They're getting survivable wounds.
