actually on the barge fight Boba fett was going to kill Luke but took way to long to act and got owned by the nearly blind Han solo at the time (Han solo was nearly blind seeings how he was still had stasis shock from being released from the carbonite). And then because of being hit it caused his jetpack to malfunction and throw him into the side of jabba's barge where he then bounced off and fell into the Zarlaac. The zarlaac after that burped (hehe). Luke did not lose his arm in this battle even though he has a robotic one he still has two arms. The worst that happens to look is that a blaster shot hits the frontside of his robotic arm showing the robotic innerds (which was pretty sweet as well as when they first installed it in The Empire Stikes Back) But like you said nothing can really survive a well thrown plasma.
