Kojima likes both Lego and Star Wars and the Phantom Limbs mission is Sony exclusive.
How awesome would it be if Kojima designed this level pack?

It'd be fucking fantastic if this was Kojima's Revengeance.

That's far too much of a coincidence. Certainly the Lego naming of it is making the connection between the arms. Even if it's original reasoning wasn't anything to do with MGS.

LOL!
The same day Lego Star Wars: Force Awakens was announced along with the "Phantom Limbs" DLC I got this press release by Konami:
"The Konami supported Phantom Limb Project will be shown during the first BDYHAX Bodyhacking und Biohacking Convention in Texas"
Further information here: https://uk.games.konami-europe.com/...IST-TO-PRODUCE-BESPOKE-LIMB-FOR-AMPUTEE-GAMER So...yeah. This is a thing.

There it is folks.
So they just gave him a red arm for no reason and then let a comic book writer make up a story after the fact?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.

The arm, obviously.
They gave him a silver leg in A New Hope and I don't know if that was ever even explained.
EDIT: Wait, was his leg silver through the whole original trilogy? Man, I'm slipping.
"hmm...c3po. so what do we do with him?"
"I dunno, we should give him battle damage and like a hidden past"
"We should change his voice and per..."
"No. but maybe scuff him up a bit, we need to show the passage of time. Something that screams 'new movie'."
"I got it, he's missing an arm. It's perfect. Plenty of room for comic relief, amputee jokes, you know kids love stumps."
ect
Ah, so this might just be a tradition. I do hope its a nod because that would be cool.

Isn"t that how stuff like this always works? Make a new design because it looks cool, let someone else come up with a story for that?
Confirmation that the people making the LEGO game have heard of this meme? Yes, that is confirmation of that.
Yes, it was silver throughout. Now it's gold, but the arm is red. The silver leg was never explained, but apparently there is an explanation of the red arm in the comics or maybe one of the young adult books. I don't know, I haven't read them and don't actually know the explanation. I assume it will be in that level pack, though, since apparently there's a lot of backstory being explained in the game.

I think it´s time to let it go and eat some crow.
- JJ and Hideo met.
- An Alien screams "Kojima" during the movie.
And now it´s straight up called phantom limb.
that´s as much confirmation as you´ll get.

Pretty much. Heck, on Kojimas world tour he met up with JJ Abrams again.
Him and JJ are tight. A red limb is coincidence. An alien screaming Kojima is suspect. A bonus level featuring that red limb and being called 'Phantom Limb' is a straight up reference.
C3PO is a reference to Venom Snake. Same hand, too!
They give him a red arm because JJ wanted to use it a symbol of how people can change when you don't see them for long periods of time.

The droid is actually not C3PO, but another droid who has been reconstructed and has the hard drive of C3PO in it.
Believe.
