Light emits heat, so when the lightsaber cuts through flesh, the wound get cauterized, meaning the blood flow to the wound is cut off instantly.

A lightsaber is supposed to be a sword with a laser type blade so when wounding a opponent the blade cauterises the wound and stops blood flow.

In A New Hope when Ben cuts off the arm of the guy picking on Luke in the bar in Mos Eisley with his light sabre, they have a shot of the arm on the floor and there is quite a bit of blood as I remember...

Yeah, I thought about that too.
I think it's kind of like, how in those old cowboy movies, they'd get shot and heal the wound by heating up a spoon or metal object over fire and then sort of melting the skin over with it.
The light-saber is so super-hot that it instantly causes the skin or tissue to form a sort of skin. I think it's called 'courterising' or something...

Not a Star Wars fan myself but...
The science nerd in me would say that the heat of the laser (obviously very hot to cut through anything) would instantly cauterise the wound, sealing it off.

There is blood in Phantom Menace, when Darth Maul gets chopped in 2, however, the blood appears as a fine read dust, because of the heat of the sword...

easy this, its because the films are made for family viewing, Lucas decided that the blade of a lightsabre would cauterize the wound, thus preventing blood from being splattered everywhere in a U/ PG certificate movie.

Two reasons:
One: It is all make believe
Two: They wouldn't get a kids certificate for the movie thus excluding about 90% of the available market.
Then of course there is the cauterising bit but that's not a cynical point of view.

Because of the energy field used in a lightsaber combined with e=mc2 multiplied by the maximum velocity of a stable object when colliding with a universe travelling at 0.99% of the speed of light it is very simple really when you think about it.
