Bleeding Cool take an indepth look at C-3PO #1 and the high expectations around the much delayed issue:
The Star Wars Special: C-3PO #1 had one job to do. Explain to Star Wars fans how C-3PO got his red arm in the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And have that explanation be approved by LucasFil and JJ Abrams.
It was also being created by the Starman team of James Robinson and Tony Harris, who have a history of not exactly getting on with each other.
Oh and it was months late. So whichever way you looked at it, the omens weren’t good.
But instead we have a war comic that examines the moral questions of duty, of fighting for life, of sacrifice and abuse. And while the location of the red arm, its meaning and the reason that C-3PO hasn’t had it fixed is a meaningful one, it’s also one of the least important aspects of the comic, a symbol of what came before.
