‘It’s not the end. It’s an end’: Anthony Daniels on his decades-long career as C-3PO

Chris Knight talks to Anthony Daniels about his new memoir, I Am C-3PO, which covers 40 years of Star Wars moviemaking from his perspective

The title of Anthony Daniels’ new book — I Am C-3PO — recalls a similar memoir by Leonard Nimoy, I Am Spock. But when I ask the 73-year-old British actor about that, he tells me the title wasn’t his idea.

Daniels gives full credit to the writers of the Star Wars franchise but adds: “He’s not going to say something that I don’t approve of. And that way he stays in character. It’s me tweaking and critiquing: ‘If you said it this way it would sound like him.’ ” Daniels is in the midst of a press tour for the book, which coincides with the mounting excitement for the release of The Rise of Skywalker, the final chapter in the nine-film saga that began in 1977.

I Am 3-CPO is a delightful ramble through more than 40 years of Star Wars history, told from Daniels’ unique perspective. Not that he always had the best view. When the first movie was being shot, crew members would sometimes forget he was an actor and not a prop. And when the “human” cast found early fame, the droids were often shunted to the sidelines.
