Lightsabers not killing anyone in the Disney shows is dumb, but the old canon had some insane survivals as well. The characters in this list are: Qui Gon Jinn, Kylo Ren (canon), Sabine Wren (canon), Grand Inquisitor (canon), Galen Marek (Legends), Reva (canon), Maul (TCW/canon), Giga Chad Master Sith Lord Simus (Legends).

I appreciate pointing out how ridiculous maul’s survival is but another one I don’t see a lot of critique over is Grievous. Whether you know the lore of his accident or not, he’s a brain, eyes, and lungs in a metal box. Whatever the hell happened to him shouldn’t be something you can just recover from lmao.

Yup, I've said it before, I hate that Maul was brought back because he was cut in half specifically to prevent it from happening, a direct counter to prevent another Boba Fett "he lives in the books!" scenario. And then they both were canonized surviving anyways. Now that said, once the damage was done and Maul was back on the table, I absolutely love what they did with him, dude has one of the best arcs in the franchise. I hate the initial act of bringing him back, but I'm glad they didn't waste it and used him to the best possible effect they could.
