    i was trying to point out that losing the arm represented something, and it was kind of the same something for both anakin and luke.

    No-one's losing any body parts. Isn't it like a Disney policy that no limb severing happens in ANY of their movies or TV shows? I thought that was down in writing somewhere?

    Force choked, knocked unconscious. The only reason Kenobi, came out of all those fights with his limbs intact was plot armor.

    omg. GL deliberately had both anakin and luke lose a hand in the 2nd episode of their respective trilogies because it meant something regarding the "connection" between them. luke's hand loss parallel's anakin's because of the specific story of "will luke follow in his father's footsteps and become like him?"

    Yeah ok but a lot of people lose body parts not just those two. Just inevitable with that type of weapon. Don't really think Luke was arrogant either against Vader. Confident, yes, but it was not this idiotic fighting that Anakin had in episode ii, which he deserved to get his arm cut off fight rushing a Sith Lord like that. In both instances the protagonist was defeated in the middle movie, and that is Rey for viii. She will lose to Kylo, it's just how.

    Me... if I have to spring for the family's TLJ tickets. NY ticket prices are stupidly excessive. :p

    For me, this is one element that is not necessary to repeat in this trilogy; but given Rey and Kylo's angst one of them might.

    I know you're kidding, but let's end the whole "robotic spine" obsession people have:

    That is not his spine at all.

    Disney owns Marvel and in every Phase 2 Marvel movie someone has lost a limb.

    yeah, but i think that rey losing an arm has to mean something connected to luke and anakin losing arms/hands... otherwise it will cheapen the meaning of luke and anakin losing arms. this has a specific meaning for the protagonist in previous films. so it shouldn't be repeated just because. it doesn't matter that of course anyone can lose an arm in a lightsaber fight. what boggles me is that people think it's a requirement that rey must lose a limb. also if phasma really does lose an arm, it makes me think that no one else will be losing a limb as that would be a bit redundant.

    I bet he/she won't be Kylo or Rey and we will be wondering if he/she is another Skywlaker until ep. IX.

    R2 will have his rockets fitted again and fly as in AOTC before he loses the entire dome while saving Rey and Luke.

    3PO will lose an arm and explain how he got the red arm in TFA, the whole exposition scene will take 10 minutes.

    Unless they are going to kill her, this is possible from a run in with Phasma.
