(KTIC RADIO) — (AUGUSTA, Ga.) — Just like Luke Skywalker, 7-year-old Liam Porter of Augusta, Georgia has been given a brand new arm.
Porter, who was born without the lower part of his left arm, was recently surprised with a prosthetic arm modeled after the Imperial Clone Troopers in Star Wars.
“Liam wants it made clear it is a Clone Trooper not a Storm Trooper arm,” said his mother Ryan Porter.
In the Star Wars movies, Clone Troopers are the good guys and Storm Troopers are evil.
Porter used to have a traditional prosthesis but it was boring and clunky, John Peterson, the limb’s designer said. The boy thinks the new arm is not only “extremely awesome,” it’s lighter and easier to move. It has a clamp on it and a rail system to slide different attachments on and off. As he grows, the arm can be adjusted.
