wrist mounted weapons? Grapple lines attached to it? Doesn't make sense, Im not a science buss but the balance between that lovely string, the strength and fragility of your wrist with added weight of you body and gear will rip the flesh to shreds.

For those who object to the wrist mounted grappling hook, refer to the fight between Luke Skywalker and Boba Fett in Episode VI, Fett uses a wrist mounted grappling line against Luke. It is part of his gear. And also wrist mounted weapons are not directly on the wrist, but rather usually on a gauntlet of some sort. Again, refer to either of the two Fetts.

Just because I like to argue...
The two Fett's had wrist launchers that were built into their armor. Therefore, the stress of using such a launcher/grapple hook attachment was spread throughout the entire suit of rather advanced and expensive armor. If you tried to use a simple wrist launcher, it would most likely dislocate your shoulder.
That's my explanation anyways. Feel free to prove it wrong :P. Jegora "Leftenant" Fal

Gladly, while the armor which Fett wore was very advanced it was actually made of a number of different pieces, and like the stormtrooper armor, was worn over a bodyglove type suit. This means that the armor is not solid and interconnected, but made of multiple pieces. Also, Jango Fett uses a grappling hook when he fights against Obi-Wan on Kamino, wrapping it around Kenobi's wrists in order to keep him from grabbing his lightsaber, and when Fett uses his jetpack to fly away, Kenobi uses his wrists to stop both the momentum of the jetpack, and later uses a grappling hook to swing onto a platform.

Obi-Wan was a JEDI. He could of used the Force to augment his strength and endurance. And on the armor part, yes, it is made up of different pieces, but those pieces have to connect together in some way or they would just fall off. And the bodyglove type suit had to be tough or any sharp thing that managed to get through it would shred it to pieces so it could withstand a little tugging.

And yet the bodyglove failed to keep out the spears, arrows, and clubs of the ewoks, and as far as Obiwan being a jedi, last time I checked jedi don't have bones of steel, your hands are cut off the same whether you are jedi or not, the thing is jedi are faster, but obi-wan wasn't getting away.

Stop being an arse Slasher.
As I say time and again, real life physics can't really apply to the realm of star wars because it is a work of fiction.
The films especially, whilst being the highest source of canon, should also be treated with the biggest degree of skepticism - If something happens in the film, it's because it looked cinematically good, as oppossed to making sense within the laws of the universe.
A wrist mounted grappling hook would I think work even within real life, provided that the wearer used it properly. If they misused it, it would definatly dislocate their shoulder, armour or not.
Aeos point about the wire shredding skin is also valid, which is why this weapons should be mounted on body armour. There is the case of Kenobi/Jango fight, but that could be put down to either his Jedi prowess, or the fact that the wire material just wasn't of the skin shreading variety.
Regardless, I don't see anything wrong with jet packs, or wrist mounted weapons, provided that they are embeded within the wrist armour.
