C-3PO costume from Star Wars: The Force Awakens on display...

In 2015's Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, Anthony Daniels reprised his role as the fussy and worry-prone golden protocol droid, 'C-3PO'. The constant companion of astromech droid, 'R2-D2', 'Threepio' returned in this movie sequel set thirty years after Return of the Jedi sporting a red arm. Director J. J. Abrams apparently wanted the arm color change to hint at C-3PO's unseen history and experiences between films.
