The angle looks like stomach or spleen to kidney, but not her spine. And they never cover what settings a lightsaber has. Perhaps it has high and low power for different uses. It reportedly had its origins as a cutting tool. And flesh and metal have different heat conductive properties. So I don’t see a problem.

“Perhaps,” “maybe,” “it’s possible.” My guy, every one of your arguments comes down to you writing the script out of the situation the writers put it in. Why would Vader put his saber on low power? Does that saber LOOK low-powered? And the biggest question of all, after all their talk of how anger and revenge can help any dark Jedi or Sith survive excruciating injuries, why in the world would they not do a confirm kill? There’s no logic in that moment whatsoever other than the writers wanted her to have a redemption moment on Tatooine, story and continuity be damned. Especially in canon where we’ve seen Vader cut Inquisitors down for much, MUCH less than actively trying to assassinate him.

It’s like they deliberately shined a light on the issue and told the audience to pretend there’s no problem.
