It's simple. . .
Star Wars sucks.

I still don't understand why Maul couldn't have survived into Episode 3, and have him do all of the stuff Count Dooku did. Of course, it would've erased that incredible plotline of the erased Jedi archives, and Obi-wan looking for evidence. It kept me on the edge of my seat!!! (I mean, why bring up the Lost Jedi, and then not really use it. Why not have more of the former Jedis helping the Trade Federation? Or have them come back to fight the threat of the Empire, only to get owned by Vader in epic battles? This was just a stream of consciousness thing, sorry.)

I believe the canon reason for the inconsistencies is that humans have flesh and blood vessels that cauterize instantly, Zabraks (like Maul) only mostly cauterize (hence the blood spray), and Walrus Man (forget the name) had a physiology that does not easily cauterize. Unless Walrus Man was a silicone based lifeform, I don't see how that would work, but that is the reason they give.

Maybe Walrus Man just had hemophilia?

The real reason for the change was that Lucas did not want to get a G rating for New Hope, thinking that it would keep people away. So he threw in the blood to up the raiting. At least that's what I've heard

You know what movie ending I never understood? Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Now I admit, that movie is pretty non sensical from the get go, but the ending always irratated me. When the house flies back to the Transylvania galaxy and they show Brad, Janet and Dr. Scott crawling on the ground singing that "Superheros" song, then the narrator says "and crawling across the planets face, were some insects called the human race. But now they're lost in time and space". And thats it. And watching that I thought "What the smurf?".
And that's what Grinds My Gears, Tom.

Why does Obi-Wan disappear when he gets hit? Because when a Jedi dies his body leaves with him ... I think if I remember correctly.

Hayden Christiansen's spirit at the end of the reworked Jedi doesn't really make much sense. yes it does, That was how anakin looked before he turned to the sith, if anything it adds consistancy to all six films. That said i dont like how he appears after both yoda and obi wan, he shouldnt draw soo much attention to it they should just have him stood there like he used to be

Also, I might be wrong (my SW knowledge being not so big), but if I remember correctly, the Siths are Jedis as well (they just chose the path of the sark side), so why don' t their bodies disappear either when they die ?

LOL - all my Star Wars arguments got made already, so I'm just chiming in here.

At the very end of Revenge of the Sith, Yoda tells Obi Wan that Qui Gon's spirit or essence or something has managed to return and that he's learned new secrets of the Force. Supposedly that's the great explanation of why Obi Wan and Yoda disappear, they're voluntarily joining the Force rather than just dying.

Darth Vader's lightsaber is well-maintained, expertly calibrated by Lightsabre mech droids, pretty much straight out of the box new, and hasn't been used in a desert environment for many years. I bet Obi Wan's sabre couldn't do all that fancy cutting though thick blast doors that happens in the later movies.

Why does Obi-Wan disappear when he gets hit? Not to mention why his robe didn't get cut

I'll take "Lucas made it up as he went along". What are you talking about? Lucas planned the awesome incestuous relationship between Leia and Luke for years.
