It would seem then that if one's head is decapitated via light sabre (or equivalent), one would retain consciousness much longer - on the order of a couple of minutes or longer even.
You would immediately cut the brain off from all oxygen. Not like when you hold your breath. In that case, you actually holding a small oxygen reserve. In this case there would be none. So the head would die roughly, by calculations, very fast.

Cells don't instantly use up all the oxygen in blood as soon as the blood gets to them, do they? Wouldn't the blood itself have some oxygen left in it after the time one would otherwise have died from bleeding out - not an optimal amount, but enough for some consciousness?
