of course there isnt, and one thing i really didnt like at the end of the Attack of the clone was the way anikins new arm looked, i know that they had to have a more realistic looking prothesis out there, that they could have given him

I think that cutting off an arm will pass the censor and it still gets a PG certificate, but slicing a Stormtrooper in two would not.

A little OT:

In Britain they won't allow any headbutts, they all have to be removed, and some films have seemed a little odd without the sequence. Strange then, that they will allow arms to be sliced off. The Ice Wampa amputation was accompanied by quite a bit of blood splurting too. Maybe it's because they think a headbutt is more realistic than a fantasy furry monster.

Back on Arms:

Maybe I never realised before, or maybe it was one of the added digital effects for the re-released movies, but Luke's arm is definately mechanical in those, there is a shot of it with the electical circuits under a flap, just like Data in Star Trek or in the Bionic Man. I can't see that technology would have advanced so far forward in only 30 years from Anakin's time.
