Some of these photoshops are really making me want a C3PO arc where he goes total badass.
Which is a weird urge to have...

The movie is riddled with easter eggs. The same arm happens to be red, I am sure they will explain canon wise in the comic, but also, it appears to be a pop culture shout out.
Not sure if serious.
Not sure if serious.
I'm considering any scene or stillframe from the movie as a potential spoiler.... So very serious.
Then what exactly was your thoughtprocess when clicking this thread?
I was hoping it was some form of text description that would make me keep a look out for what the easter egg would be, not pictures.

Then it isn't anyone's fault but your own that you clicked on a thread with "star wars" and "easter egg" in the title. Seriously.

You should probably stay out of any thread that references the movie then. ._.

Him and Jar Jar are the 2 most powerful sith in existance.
If they have an official explanation for why he had a red arm, how is it still considered an easter egg?
Wouldn't it be better to assume they have no connection and it's a coincidence until the creators say otherwise?

It is in the freaking movie poster, and on toys in isles of stores, etc.
Exactly. If you are serious to 100% media black out, then you should not even click the thread.
Because it did not have to be red. It could still be a visual pop culture shout out due to the color, not the nature of how he received it.
Just like the "Wilhelm Scream" has nothing to do with the original movie it was in, but is always a shout out.
I am sure ET has nothing to do with Star Wars cannon, but his alien species was in the Senate, as a shout out. Same with an Astromech in Star Trek. Just little Easter Eggs.
Shortly after he first appears I think he says something like "we really do need to get my old arm reattached" or something. I'm pretty disappointed it actually happened though.
So, the Boss' gold arm is also an easter egg to Star Wars (C3PO arm)
get out

Yeah. There's a lot of "outside of Star Wars" references in the movie.
Ello Astey is a reference to "Hello Nasty" by the Beastie Boys.

Eyepatchs are pretty common. Someone having a red mechanical arm isnt.
eyepatches are pretty common? news to me
when yoda wears a red scarf we can all speculate if hes yodacelot.
I'd think if they were going to make an homage, they would put the arm on something more ....badass than the most whining, annoying character in the series (the real movies anyway). if anything, its actually an insult to BB.
In comparison to red mechanical arms...I would say ya, they are pretty common in pop culture.

OR Chapter 3 Portable Ops
Chapter 3 is on Vita. Or only playable via C3PO. It was so obvious...

The comic releases on Feb 26th, 2016. IT's a one-shot special set directly between Episodes VI and VII. When it releases then we'll know.
"There will be a comic"
Is what you should have said.

A whole "Phantom Limb" level?
I hope it's going to be a stealth mission on some desert planet.
