Ugh! That was one of the worst lines in the movie....."You must not recognize me, due to my red arm".......it was so odd IMO!

Yeah I know this movie is the best!!!!!

@JoeMomma29 - It was really odd, but that's EXACTLY how Threepio talks.

That was one tiny nitpick I had with the movie.
If they'd just let you wonder about the arm instead of pointing it out, it'd have been better.

So they've bilked people for the ep 7 c-3po and are now bilking them over the "reason" they are getting bilked.

In ep 8 c-3po's other arm will be blue.

Count on it.

That's actually Venom-3PO. The real C-3PO is creating his Outer Heaven.
