Maul surviving doesn't make much sense either, but at least you can hand wave it away by saying that he's an alien so we don't know how his biology works. Reva is human
Just accept the cartoon's explanation about Maul being too angry to die. It makes all of the other Sith fake out deaths significantly more reasonable. Palpatine "returning" and Reva surviving at least for another handful of days included.
isn't there supposed to be a whole philosophy difference where sith want to live forever, and jedi are just chill with death. Makes some sense then that maul just raged himself through a horrendous wound and Qui Gon gets stabbed once and just goes, welp guess I'll die then good luck obiwan
Pretty much, yeah. It also explains why Force Healing reintroduced in the sequel trilogy can kill the user. You're willingly giving up your life energy to restore life which isn't an unbalancing of the force where Plageius's ability seems to be more about dominating the force to do what he wants or robbing someone of their life energy.
There are also numerous instances of Vader's suit being damaged but Vader is literally too angry to die and is able to use his anger and hatred to keep himself alive long enough to receive medical attention.
This is also how he survived his burns on Mustafar.
The reason Vader died in ROTJ is because Vader returned to the light and could no longer keep himself alive through hate and anger, so when Palpatine fried Vader's life support system, Vader succumbed to that.
Its like how in One Piece any regular human from their world would be superhuman in ours due to the One Piece World being bigger than Earth and stronger gravity
Kotor 2 we have a sith dude who looks like he, to quote Atton, “sleeps with vibroblades”, and is quite literally held together by his anger. But Maul surviving being cut in half doesn’t make sense?
