Every C-3PO Costume Explained By Anthony Daniels | WIRED

Anthony Daniels is a real professional, to be honest he could easily be pretentious about all of it and think himself above Star Wars (like Alec Guinness allegedly could be and Harrison Ford sometime is) but instead he absolutely loves it and knows how important his place is in the saga and how important it is in our lives.

Living flesh on a metal body. This is C3-PO disguising himself as an actor. Almost got me fooled but his behaviour gave him away...

[@nicknumber1512]

The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy. But these are new. They look human - anecdotes, clicking noises, Lucas impressions, everything. Very hard to spot.

[@amradio1968]

It’s interesting that Daniels’ gesticulating emotion through the articulation limitations of the costume became a central part of the character’s seeming reticent attitude towards taking any rash actions. Some may have rejected such a stage limitation outright and given up. Yet this all contrasts with the character’s dialog of constant verbal siege on everyone else’s actions. This lent a complex and relatable wholeness to C3PO few robotic characters have achieved. The magic of theater, story telling, dreams and the human condition were wrapped up magnificently by Daniels.

[@KairuHakubi]

and it makes sense, too. Would you bother giving a protocol droid amazing physical abilities? He just needs to show up and translate and be polite.

[@nicolashoyos4426]

such a well spoken gentleman....so eloquent and polite

This was a great watch, hosted wonderfully. Also, I genuinely felt that C3PO was one of the best parts of Rise Of Skywalker, he really stood out in it.

Anthony Daniels, what a sweet and grateful person he is.

The claustrophobia I would experience in that outfit would drive me crazy!!! He could not even break his fall if he tipped forward... that would make me very nervous to be inside of it let alone try to remember lines and act. Thanks for your sacrifice, it really made my childhood!

[@Vanessa-pu5qg]

Thanks, Anthony for sharing your incredible behind the scenes of C-3PO. The difficulty and support you needed for you to bring CPO alive are extraordinary. Just wonderful.🥰

[@dracnornossai5173]

Imagine the joy he felt picking up the dagger on "The Rise of Skywalker", after 42 years of clumsy plastic C3P0 hands, he finally picked something up the proper way!

Daniels has such a compelling voice, your just hanging on every word. He could talk about folding laundry and make it interesting.

[@Half_Finis]

he is a bit too pretentious though

i loved watching this video. he really loves this character. like really he sounds so happy just talking about his role in star wars. i usually don't watch videos this long, but it's so pleasing to hear someone who is so happy to have played this role. i've always loved c3po, but this just makes me appreciate everything that went into creating this classic character. i've never thought about how it would be to film like that. sorry for the long comment i just appreciate the joy in his voice as he describes his filming experience with 3po.

[@yourguidetorights3909]

Fascinating presentation. Anthony Daniel's was the perfect casting for 3CPO. Loved watching him talking about the role and how much he enjoyed being the character.

[@WhiteWolf496]

This is what you call a legend. He was my favourite part of IX And I totally agree with the fact that stunt doubles are undervalued, they definitely need an academy award.

[@DamienDrake]

Absolutely. Actors are regularly nominated for the transformations that the makeup department create, but people who risk their safety to make our jaws drop don't get anything. Then again, the academy is a joke... so there's that.

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

@@DamienDrake There is merit to the whole "we don't want to incentivise danger" thing... That said, there's an entire supporting industry built on danger that seems to be rather shoved under the rug, which also isn't fair. It's safer for the Academy not to reward it, I suppose, but I wish they had rather more exposure.

Daniels was in Solo also. During the slave revolt on Kessel he voices one of the droids that says, "Freedom"

Pre Disney 3PO was canonically telling the story to someone (I don’t remember who). Hence the “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away”
