How Many Arms Must C-3PO Lose In His Life? (Vader Down Spoilers)

From Star Wars: A New Hope

Chewbacca: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!
C-3PO: He made a fair move. Screaming about it can't help you.
Han Solo: Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C-3PO: But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
Han Solo: That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose.
Wookiees are known to do that.
Chewbacca: Grrf.
C-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win.

In a previous issue of the Vader Down crossover, Star Wars #13, we saw just that exact thing happen, with Darth Vader's evil new protocol droid O-O-O.

It gets worse for O-O-O…Star Wars (2015-) 013-011

And even when he does get the upper "hand"…Star Wars (2015-) 013-016

We get a reprise of The Black Knight from Monty Python And The Hoy Grail.

Well in today's Darth Vader #15, we discover he survived a light sabre through his torso…

Okay, so Vader Down has now become "The Tale Of How C-3PO Got His Arms Back" – ahead of the comic that will explain his red arm from the new movie….
