When getting shot with a blaster there is no blood because the burn from the blaster cauterizes the wound sealing it. Much like burning your finger with a sauntering iron.

Why did Sith bleed their crystals?

Bleeding was the process that a dark side adept used by way of the dark side of the Force to bend a kyber crystal to their will, turning it red. It was possible for some light side users to purify corrupted crystals, which would bring them back to the light side and change their color.

Why was there blood when Obi Wan cut off the arm?

This is called a closed circulatory system. Blood circulates through the body via blood vessels (veins and arteries). We have a lot of internal flesh and tissues, which are burned when a lightsaber cuts through. The same for the blood vessels.

Do lightsaber wounds bleed?

Cutting power One important note about lightsaber wounds was that they rarely bled profusely, even when a limb had been severed. This was because the energy blade cauterized the wound as it passed, and thus even a severe wound did not tend to bleed heavily.

Why is Vader’s saber red?

Palpatine says Kyber crystals as “alive, in their way” and can feel pain. He then reveals that Sith lightsabers are made from Kyber crystals stolen from Jedi. The crystals are then “tortured” to the point they become corrupted and glow red, which reflect the Sith’s rage.

How do Jedi not cut themselves?

TL;DR A lightsaber has Force-attuned capabilities dependent on its connection to the user. This is a Force ability taught to all Jedi from a young age. The personal connection to one’s own lightsaber is what prevents a Jedi from accidentally killing/maiming himself with his own weapon.

Why did grievous not use red lightsabers?

Why can’t he make his own red lightsaber? Because he was never a Jedi or a Sith. He did say, before he fought Obi-Wan on Utapau that he had been trained in the Jedi arts by Count Dooku. However he says “Your Jedi arts”, which means he isn’t one of them, meaning Obi-Wan and Dooku, who are Jedi and Sith respectively.

Can your own lightsaber hurt you?

The answer is, unsurprisingly, Yes! A lightsaber is simply a weapon thus it can be used to kill even its owner. The one instance that I remember happening on-screen is the murder of Count Dooku by Anakin.
