Sorry about the photo, but it's the best I could pull off of the web. It's reported to be on can of soda that was released in Mexico. Believe it or not, this is the second photo to appear that has C3PO sporting a new red arm. The first image was released on an image of a table and chair set (?!? Yeah, I'm at a loss for this one, too!)
C3PO has always been in a constant flux of dismemberment. In the original movie, A New Hope, he suffered a loss of a limb to the Tusken Raiders. In The Empire Strikes Back he was blown apart by an Ugnaught, presumably. In Return of the Jedi, well, he pretty much stayed in tact. So what's the deal with his new red arm? Did they run out of gold or something? It has me wondering if this is something that will be addressed in the movie or if it'll be something that's covered in the comic books that Marvel is creating that will fill in the blanks between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
Just to fill up more space with this post, did you know that director JJ Abrams was/is considering throwing in the bones of one of the most despised characters ever to join the franchise onto the desert planet that the film opens up on? Yes, just to please himself (and fans!) he considered inserting the bones of Jar Jar Binks in a shot that panned around the new desert planet. He said that only three or four people would notice them, but I'm guessing that if they are put into the movie, a lot more than that will notice! Now if he'd just do the same thing with the Ewoks! I'm pretty sure that the latter won't happen, because it's rumored that Wicket is set to make an appearance in the film when the Empire's First Order and Kylo Ren head to Endor to retrieve the helmet of Darth Vader, which we see in the trailer for The Force Awakens.
So why do you think C3PO's arm is red? Let me know your theories in the comments section down below!
