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

[rong]

Many actors go on to resent being associated with their most famous roles. Anthony Daniels seems to be 3POs biggest fan. What a treasure.

[djbulldog]

I love how he mentions every set, every character, by the actual name in the Star Wars Universe, rather than just some ambiguous comment. It shows his absolute passion of the franchise and his true attention to detail.

[Lovelyclarii]

Has he ever narrated an audiobook? If not he needs to asap.

[lettuceman]

For anyone wondering why he's such an amazing visual storyteller, ever so elegantly making smooth hand motions and incorporating sounds in perfect sync with them, it's actually because he was trained in pantomime before he did Star Wars.

[theimperviousfirecracker]

He honestly looks as if C-3P0 where a human, and I love it so much.

[battmarn]

His George Lucas impression is actually really good

[evilmonkee]

I'm as captivated by Anthony's story as the Ewoks were of C-3PO's in RotJ.

[zachiswayposi]

I clicked on this video and went, "An hour?" and now at the end, I now want Anthony Daniels to never stop talking ever again

[SuPeRNinJaRed]

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. Glad I watched this, the man is a true poet and can't wait for his next performance.

[michaelmccormick]

The only actor to appear in all nine films. Ten if you count Rogue One .

[pajamas_the_emo]

I love how he just casually switches into his Threepio voice randomly

[JoJo-oczf]

Harrison: I hate Star Wars

Anthony Daniels: I AM STAR WARS

[MattWileyArt]

This is the English translation of the story he told to the Ewoks.

[DukeSolaire]

27:07 It's so strange and wonderful to see an actor who seems to be the biggest fan of the character he himself played. It's so fantastic I love it.

[LegendProject]

I love how much Anthony embraces the role of C3PO. Perfect casting.

[SomeoneNamedMark]

I dont know why i turned this on expecting to just watch a few minutes and leave. Ended up watching all 50. Very cool!!!

[kristinehelper]

The salt about the red arm is my favorite part of this whole thing

[calebuu]

Why is it that everyone that worked on Star Wars can do a perfect George Lucas impression?

[nannerz]

He's an actual treasure. I love when such smart, classically trained, respected actors express their love for working on franchise films. It legitimizes them that much more. It's like Tom Hiddleston playing Loki.

[mayahorner]

i'm slowly realizing the mechanical sound of threepio's voice is just an element of Anthony Daniel's voice
