Anthony Daniels Talks About Returning to Play C-3PO in STAR WARS Series AHSOKA
There are a few Star Wars characters who have been in the majority of the franchise’s films and shows, who are fan-favorites, and original cast members at that. Anthony Daniels fits into that category, as he portrays the beloved golden droid, C-3PO. We got to see him again in the hit Disney+ series Ahsoka, in this past week’s second-to-last episode, titled "Dreams and Madness," in which he returned alongside prequel movie star Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, who we got to see earlier in the season as well.
Daniels took to Instagram to share a warm message with fans about his return, stating:
“Never thought Threepio would have the honour to appear in the rightly lauded, Ahsoka. So we were both surprised to get a call from the Master himself, Dave Filoni. And then, there we were, enveloped by the utterly compelling FX of The Volume. And there they were, the dedicated crew and the cast of lovely and talented humans, and droids. 3PO and I have rarely had such an enthusiastic welcome, nor such loving support throughout our days on set. I hear that fans were moved to tears by seeing their golden friend, once again on screen. I was equally moved by the surprise ovation from the assembled team, as I finally emerged from that iconic figure. Maybe this is a good time to thank them and so many millions, for the love they have shown my friend over so many years. So… on his behalf… Thank you.”
It’s always cool to see C-3PO return in any capacity, and it’s awesome to see Daniels return to the role. The final episode of Ahsoka season 1 will air on Disney+ this Tuesday, October 3rd.
