Hype
The much delayed Star Wars Special: C-3P0 one shot was due to the Lucasfilm approval process. The announcement for this book came in September 2015 before the release of The Force Awakens and solicited for December 2015. The script was approved after Thanksgiving and the book was delayed until 2016.

Resistance Droid
Communication Chief C-3P0 crashes on a planet and leads a
band of droids on a mission to save Admiral Ackbar before he is executed by the
First Order. They have captured a droid from the First Order who knows the
location of Admiral Ackbar. Together they deal with Spice Spiders and have
philosophical discussions about their past memories. C-3P0 is saved by the
First Order droid after being attacked by creatures on the planet and loses his arm. The
First Order droid transfers the location of Admiral Ackbar and sacrifices
himself for C-3P0 to get off the planet. All that’s left of the First Order droid is his red arm
which C-3P0 uses to replace his missing arm to remember him.
Feedback
The
issue begins with the exposition between droids and continues till the end.
Overall it was nice to find out how C-3P0 received his missing arm however the
process of reading this issue seemed artificial. Writer James Robinson has to
submit to Lucasfilm his script which is tightly controlled. This may play apart in the final product as it becomes unbelievable a First Order droid
sacrificed himself for a Resistance droid.
