Anthony Daniels is Back as C-3PO in an Upcoming STAR WARS Project
Anthony Daniels is reprising his role as C-3PO in an upcoming new Star Wars project. The actor recently confirmed this in a photo he posted on social media and in it, he is wearing a motional capture suit. The photo, which you can see below came with the caption, “Finally, a new suit - that fits!”
No details were revealed on what this project is, but it’s speculated that it is the new animated adventure special, Star Wars: A Droid Story, which was announced over a year ago by Kathleen Kennedy. In that announcement, she shared:
“As Lucasfilm continues to develop new stories, the intersection of animation and visual effects offers new opportunities to explore. Lucasfilm Animation will be teaming up with Lucasfilm’s visual effects team, Industrial Light & Magic, to develop a special Star Wars adventure for Disney+, A Droid Story. This epic journey will introduce us to a new hero, guided by legendary duo R2-D2 and C-3PO.”
While Daniels’ involvement in that was not confirmed, it makes complete sense that he would be asked to come back and reprise his role in it. He previously reprised his role as C-3PO in projects like the VR experience Tales From Galaxy’s Edge and the Disney Plus special LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special.
