[Star Wars] Can someone tell me why it was not possible for Mace Windu to survive?

His arm got hand got cut off, big deal, anakin loses his arms many times, Luke gets his cut off too, its almost a non-factor the movies paint it out. He gets blasted with Force Lightning, but Luke did too, and Luke endured a lot longer.

My only gripe with the scene is he's flung out the window. I'd expect a Jedi Master to someone gain control, use the flying cars and land on one of them using the force or something. I'm not saying every character death has to be on-screen, I'm just curious as to why anyone would be so sure that a Jedi Master would die merely from losing his hand and getting thrown out the window with force lightning.

We've seen Anakin survive Mustafar. We've seen Maul survive getting sliced in half. Why not Mace?

Because all of those things happened individually to those in question. They happened simultaneously to Mace, and he kept arcing with lightning until we couldn't see him anymore because he was so far away.
