(at around 1h 40 mins) This movie continues the trend of MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) phase 2 characters losing an arm, a homage to Star Wars. Previous examples include Tony Stark cutting off Aldrich Killian's arm in Iron Man 3 (2013), Loki's illusion of Thor losing his arm in Thor: The Dark World (2013), Bucky Barnes' mechanical prosthetic arm in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Ultron severing Ulyses Klaue's arm in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)), and Phil Coulson's left hand being cut off in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: S.O.S. Part 2 (2015) among others. Here, after Ant-Man sabotages the Yellowjacket's suit, the Yellowjacket begins to implode and compress, first completely losing his right arm, before the rest of his body dissipates into nothing. Kevin Feige has stated that this trend is supposed to pay homage to the classic scene in L'Impero colpisce ancora (1980) where Darth Vader cuts of Luke Skywalker's hand. The Star Wars scene itself was also an homage to Yojimbo (1961).
