8:25 "You haven't mentioned my book for several minutes now" I love his humor

[@TheGeeknd]

I could actually make a 20 minute cut of AD mentioning his bloody book ;-)

[@BenLaurence]

Great interview with the golden rod himself. It’s kinda sad they never really gave him credit until years later. I definitely agree about Leia in Rouge One. I said they same thing, everyone knew it was her from the back!

[@TheGeeknd]

Thanks, Ben. And yeah I agree with you both on that 😜 Although I’m still pleased for Ingvild who got the part as ‘Leia’

[@evancortez2]

It has been an honor to grow up with people like Anthony Daniels

[@TheGeeknd]

Thanks for watching, Evan ✌🏻

[@gippy101]

Thanks for sharing!

[@TheGeeknd]

You're welcome dude! (Catching up on comments by the way)

[@bikerscout7467]

Excellent interview with the Golden one! A really fascinating insight into Anthony's early experience with the original Star Wars movies and the press tours (or lack thereof). I was lucky to meet him very briefly at his book signing last month. The book is just as fascinating!

[@TheGeeknd]

Yeah I agree - I highly recommend the book for all Star Wars fans 👍🏻 The being left off the poster thing really surprised me.

[@pontusliljeblad]

Thank you Jamie. As always, you bring the best of stuffs! Never stop!

[@TheGeeknd]

Thanks man. No plans to stop just yet ✌🏻

[@JasonInMelbourne]

Maaaate! You've done it again. Superb interview. And I agree with other commenters that it's one of your best with one of the best of Star Wars. Going to listen to the podcast now...

[@TheGeeknd]

Cheers, Jason. Happy new year to ya.

[@Hotchpotchsoup]

He's got such a neat, gentle and almost delicate voice! Great actor and awesome person! I wish him all the joy in the world! ^^

[@TheGeeknd]

He’s definitely all of those things. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@skywalkersounds7020]

Great interview Jamie! 😀

[@TheGeeknd]

Thanks dude 👍🏻 I enjoyed doing it.

[@BKMakes]

LEGEND!! LOL, Killer start to the interview Jamie. "...It is a book I've not stopped reading - Really? - Yeah, well mostly because I'm lonely and have no friends..."

[@TheGeeknd]

Thanks dude :-) I enjoyed spending time with Anthony, he's good fun.

[@lilred5515]

He seems like such a charming lovely man. I can see why I always felt a genuine friendliness from 3po even when he was annoyed with r2d2!

[@TheGeeknd]

Thanks for watching dude!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Jamie! Thanks, Anthony! 🌠 #ILoveStarWars I'll be thinking of *both* of you tonight as I'm in the cinema for 2 screenings of THE RISE OF SKYWALKER.

[@TheGeeknd]

Hope you like it!

[@TheGeeknd]

I’m going on Saturday

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I had a blast during both screenings... and the crowd was highly reactive and expressive (which also made it extra fun). 😊 If you enjoy it even half as much as I did, you'll be sittin' pretty.

[@LouiseFalt]

He's brilliant

[@bardicdad]

Thank you for hosting this excellent interview. The interview with Anthony Carboni was really awful, and I think Anthony Daniels was annoyed by him. It wound up turning into Anthony Daniels interviewing Anthony Daniels, which was great by itself. It was nice to hear a perspective that I have not heard before, and a good interviewer pulls that out after doing his homework. Well done. For the record, you should be hosting The Star Wars Show instead of Carboni. Responding to Anthony, I think as a kid there was something magical about seeing C-3PO in random things like Sesame Street and Muppets instead of seeing Anthony Daniels out of costume. I'm glad he stuck with it, even after being somewhat ignored in TFA and TLJ. "Taking one last look at my friends" . . . that line seems to be directed towards his fans that have followed C-3PO's story, instead of the characters around him. We heard the message. I haven't seen the show yet, so please no spoilers.

[@TheGeeknd]

Just catching up on comments. Glad you enjoyed the interview. Anthony made my job easy to be honest, he's a great interviewee - fun, interesting and generous.

[@JamesCarmichael]

Tony did some very impressive TV work over the years. He played Legolas in the animated Lord of the Rings too.

[@TheGeeknd]

Cool, I never realised he was Legolas!

[@TheSuperQuail]

Bless my circuits, another great interview, sir. I'm curious, did Anthony at any point refer to you as an 'overgrown mophead'? ;)

[@TheGeeknd]

Haha, not exactly those words but there were a few hair comments made which you might hear in future clips

[@TheGeeknd]

Now you mention it, it’s disappointing that he didn’t use those exact words!

[@Della624]

Let's put this into perspective. Harrison, Mark & Carrie were the stars. Chewbacca, as with R2D2, C3PO and Wicket, were the secondary characters who LATER ON became central because of the FANS, not because of the storyline. Also Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker were treated exactly the same way as Anthony Daniels and yet not a twitter about their disgruntlement, if indeed they had any, because I IMAGINE THEIR egos weren't so inflated as to demand the same treatment as the stars of the film. I laugh each time Anthony Daniels would say he fought for C3PO, not for himself. Pahleeease! Another bit of perspective. R2D2 was a far more important CHARACTER than C3PO because he had a vitally important message that needed to be delivered to set everything in motion. Anthony Daniels has admitted his beef with Kenny Baker stemmed from Kenny Baker wanting to inject his own personality onto a scene and not stick to the script. Excuse me? Script? R2D2 had a script? With words? Seriously? Lastly, having said all that, I could be biased because of Anthony Daniel's unforgiving infamous disgusting treatment of Kenny Baker. All in all, all I see is a pompous, self-important, arrogant, insecure, jealous pr*ck who will only play nice if he gets what he wants when he demands it or when he's pimping a book. You don't have to say much to Anthony Daniels to get a good ten minutes of him blabbing on about his self-important self. He just loves every minute of every spotlight no mater how big or small, just so long as it's on him. The epitome of shallow Hollywood. Well, now that I have that off my chest perhaps I might find Anthony Daniels a bit more tolerable to watch in future......................... I won't be holding my breath on that bit of hope

[@trevorrandom]

'C3-P0 & R2-D2 are the glue that hold Star Wars together' no wonder Disney Star Wars is such a mess...

[@TheGeeknd]

I can see why JJ would say this though. Although they were barely used in TFA & TLJ.

[@zakattack8624]

I love Anthony Daniels personality. I need to get his book. His part in the new film was good :) I don't want to say more, but let's just say... . . . . He grew out of his shell. Haha. Odd way of phrasing it.

[@TheGeeknd]

Now I've seen it I can comment. He did indeed come out of that gold plated shell of his.

[@zakattack8624]

@@TheGeeknd oh yes :) if you look closely in the scenes of the Millennium Falcon, you'll see a familiar face, haha.

[@LouiseFalt]

I wish I could get an autograph from him

[@TheGeeknd]

Sure you can one day. He pops up at lots of events.

[@LouiseFalt]

@@TheGeeknd Do you know if he will come to Sweden soon?

[@TheGeeknd]

I don't unfortunately, I guess with the current situation people /conventions aren't making any big announcements yet but hopefully that will start to change later in 2021.

[@LouiseFalt]

@@TheGeeknd Yeah me too! By the way, merry christmas!

[@TheGeeknd]

@@LouiseFalt merry Christmas to you as well ☺️🎅

[@gunnaryoung]

I mean he's right: 2001: A Space Odyssey _is_ boring.

[@TheGeeknd]

😂

[@dustybragg4011]

Gunnar Young I would have to disagree, it was not boring. It was, boring as hell.

[@nikolaki]

Before the Internet life was boring! Interplanetary space travel has got to be boring!

[@ia5662]

Great interview as always, very professional with great questions, but I'm still not a fan of Daniels as a person. He's very smarmy, whiny and not humble whatsoever. His arrogance is legendary and he treated Kenny Baker really poorly, which is unfortunate. A great and iconic character, glad he got his due in Ep. 9, but not a very nice man though he tries to appear that way. Maybe he's changed since Kenny's passing...

[@TheGeeknd]

Thanks Ian, mate 👍🏻
