Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 30 Easter Eggs & References You Need To See

2. The Chopped Off Arm(s)

Like "I've got a bad feeling about this", it's hard to imagine a Star Wars film without someone losing an arm. This time out, C-3PO has already lost his, and has had it replaced with one scavenged from a lower class (and distinctively red) TC 3PO model droid. He's actually a Frankenstein's monster built from parts of old TCs, but with a gold finish to make him special. There's also another possibility that Kylo Ren loses a hand to Rey in their final battle. When he hits the floor before the earth breaks them apart, it looks a lot like his hand lies detached beside him. Even on repeated viewings, it's unclear however. Incidentally, the way Rey pulls the lightsaber out of the snow is definitely a mirror of the Wampa scene in The Empire Strikes Back.
