Situation is complicated by the fact that the setting means I can't really find any real-life information to help me: I've got a lightsaber wound here and, I assume, instant cauterization of the entrance and exit wounds. Any Star Wars geeks who know ins and outs of lightsaber wounds from book information?
I did try searches about cauterization and what people could reasonably do after something being cauterized, but I didn't find anything that really helps this type of situation. Mainly I just get nasal cauterization or limb amputation.
