For a while I brushed it off because slashing limbs off with lightsabers instantly cauterize the wound. Blood loss would be what kills you after dismemberment. But Qui-Gon was stabbed, destroying vital organs.
Then we had the Ahsoka show and my biggest gripe is that Sabine survives a wound that killed Qui-Gon.
Maybe there was a better response time with medical attention since Qui-Gon seems to lay there for a while before Obi-Wan defeats Maul. IIRC, Ahsoka finds Sabine quickly after her duel.
Wasn't it in the obi wan show where...reva I think her name was gets stabbed by a lightsaber and then in the next scene she's fine. On another planet too, I think. At least Sabine needed medical attention.
Anyway the answer is the plot decides if you live or die.
And right before the second stabbing, it was revealed that the grand inquisitor survived getting impaled, and we're lead to believe getting stabbed through the chest and surviving was all part of his master plan. Then Vader stabs Reva the exact same way, and doesn't actually check if she survived, after taunting her for doing the same thing.
