Star Wars Technology: How Artificial Limbs Work [Infographic]

Forbes - Tech

In the Star Wars movies Doctors and medical droids are able to replace limbs with artificial prosthetics that are as good or even better than the original limb. Which is a good thing because in a place that is packed with lightsabers it's not surprising that a lot of people lose their limbs. To me it seems like picking up a saber the wrong way can result in a loss of hand or leg. The most notable lost limbs belong to the Skywalkers. Luke's hand was cut off by Vader at the end of the Empire Strikes Back and is probably the most famous.
