And Achilles went down from a poison arrow through the ankle, Alexander went down from a fever, Caesar from assassination, Attila from a nose bleed.

Think on that.

And that was:
A. Achilles' only vulnerable part
B. Only guided by a frigging GOD
C. Achilles wasn't a Jedi who could regulate his circulatory system in any version of the Iliad I've read
D. Alexander was an unhealthy man with a bad lung in a time when disease was rampant. He also didn't live in a time where Jedi regulate their bodies.
C. Caesar was a weaponless man caught off guard by about twenty men with knives. Yeah.
D. Attila fell asleep with his head back so the nosebleed wasn't just a minor thing he suffered.

Really, bad examples

That particular killing blow to that particular character?

It most certainly does.
We're talking about people able to regulate their circulatory system to stop such things as poison. Not only that, we're talking about someone who survived the coomb spores from Nom Anor

Let me add an example:

Stop using real life examples that have nothing to do with fights to the death. The only one that might even hint towards fantasy is the death of Achilles and Achilles wasn't even aware of Paris.

I'll assume that a simple poison dart contained the SW universe's equivalent of iocaine powder. Or curare maybe.
