C-3PO will outlive me .. his story is not over

LONG-LASTING  Anthony Daniels loves playing C-3PO

- RICK FULTON

IS ANTHONY Daniels the biggest movie star you would not recognise if you passed him in the street?

The director JJ Abrams certainly thinks so and said as much in the foreword to Daniels’s recent book I Am C-3PO: The Inside Story.

The British actor has played the smart-talking gold droid since 1977, making him the only person to have appeared in every Stars Wars film, as well as many of its spin-offs, TV shows and video games.

Now, this includes the new Lego Star Wars Holiday Special, which reunites Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, Rose and the droids for a joyous feast on Life Day – a holiday first introduced in the ill-fated 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special.
