| Dec 4, 2011 at 5:49 | comment | added | BBlake | For Luke, my initial thought was the limited finances and resources of the Rebel Alliance. But that doesn't fit with Anakin, since the Jedi Knights had near unlimited resources. | |
| Dec 4, 2011 at 5:37 | comment | added | Ian Pugsley | I doubt you'll ever get a canon source for the answer to this. I'd guess it has the most to do with cost - a cybernetic is going to be substantially cheaper than regrown flesh. As far as Anakin goes...pre-emptive wrangling on Palpatine's part to make Anakin intentionally weaker? | |
