I think they went overboard with Threepio's arm. If it had just been his hand or a finger or a shoulder or something it would have been an interesting new quirk.

But the entire arm is a big distraction. If it was a smaller part it would make sense that they never got around to replacing the temporary spare but that arm just screams replace me.

While this isn't something I really have strong opinions on, it seems to depend on the lighting and grading. Promotional shots look very red, while the behind the scenes doc, from what I recall, stood out less as it was fairly dark.

Anyway, we've yet to see what they even have to say about the arm in the film. If it's just scrap or means something more, etc. Or maybe the point is that it's supposed to scream 'replace me', and they haven't.

Or maybe Threepio just got on the wrong side of a Wookiee during a chess game. ;P
