Anthony Daniels recalls getting a call from Dave Filoni about his Star Wars return.
The penultimate episode of Star Wars: Ahsoka,"Dreams and Madness," saw the return of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, but the prequel star wasn't the only surprise of the episode. When Hera Syndulla finds herself in a military tribunal, she is rescued by C-3PO who comes to her aide on behalf of Princess Leia. Of course, Daniels has been playing the lovable droid ever since the first film of the franchise was released back in 1977.
"Never thought Threepio would have the honour to appear in the rightly lauded, Ahsoka," Daniels wrote."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."
He continued,"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.
In another chat with CinemaBlend, Daniels revealed that he has no plans to retire from the role."No, I'm never going to retire," Daniels said bluntly."They're going to have to throw me out the door... Life is not over, the films, maybe taking a back seat for 3PO, for a very very long time, I would think. But there's all sorts of other media, particularly now with digital formats, that I'm so happy, and grateful and proud to be part of.
