@paulod272 years ago I love C3PO. He and R2 were a great double act. 18
@

@ericvansickle43054 years ago Threepio and Artoo were what made the Skywalker Saga, and they were the glue that kept the story together. 74
@

@ShadowCammando244 months ago Star Wars wouldn’t be the same without Anthony Daniels and C-3PO. Seriously it’s amazing he has played every role for C-3PO since the original showing of A New Hope. ❤ 3
@

@yveltalpoderoso13033 years ago It’s impressive that he always plays c3po even in the shows and commercials 36
@

@CenobiteBeldar3 years ago I’d love to hear him do terminator lines with 3PO’s voice. 15
@

@reeganevans67074 months ago Anthony Daniels is literally the pinnacle of man and machine; right up there with Arnold Schwarzenegger as T-800.
Anthony Daniels literally has a heart of gold 💛💛 1
@

@kallenordvall4 months ago I have shaken hands with Anthony at the Sci-fi convention in Gothenburg last year. Wearing a Star Wars necktie with a Darth Vader motive matching it with a white shirt, which he was quite amused to see. Such a polite and great actor. ... 1
@

@bwhog3 months ago I was 4 when the first star wars was released. I remember distinctly seeing "Empire" in the theater. Outstanding to see Daniels!
@

@matthewcs4903 years ago Threepio and Artoo need their own Buddy-Comedy film taking place after Return of The Jedi! (I know A Droid Story is being produced, but they need a solo feature film, right?) 11
@

@dominothealphaandomega55122 years ago At this point, His soul is tied to C3po…
Any price of Star Wars Media with Threepio as a character isn’t Star Wars without Anthony… 5

@VincentScales3 years ago The story many people think is about the story of good versus, it's actually the story of a gold robot! 😆 2
@

@effen_aey_man2 years ago All I want to know is how hard was it to see in that costume. Like that had to have been extremely restrictive and people must've been guiding him everywhere he needed to go 4
@

@stevensutton13202 years ago America’s favorite droid is artoo deetoo 💪🏼 3
@

@Squishy_Seal4 years ago He looks so cuddly and adorable ! Great shoutout to C3PO !
Also am I the only one to thnk Blue Rey when he said Bluray ? 7
@

@Vulpes_Ailurus8 months ago Anthony seems like he’d be a really cool guy to hang out with.
@

@rockrollangel19723 years ago he even appeared out of the suit in ep 2 2
@

@CHASEMARClast month unless i'm wrong:
the only movie that he was not in - Solo
and so far the only TV shows is - Mando and Book of Boba Fett
impressive most impressive
@

@hundredcawslast year C3po delivered a lot of text in SW. How many lines he had? Isn't he top ranking here among other characters?
@

@bmwforlife69512 weeks ago On Facebook I read that he was a terrible arrogant person on the set. I'm here to check if that was true. He's certainly extravert.
@

@Firguy5 months ago I heard that this guy was a huge jerk. And also, a rube. One time, he went to see 2001: A Space Odyssey and he was so completely ignorant about the sheer art that was happening in front of his eyes that he demanded his money back from the manager. I take offense to this because, when I was married, I had an affair with a woman that I cared very deeply for and her favorite movies were the ones directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, Werner Herzog, and Stanley Kubrick so it feels like he personally insulted my AP. ...
@

@TheMightyOdin4 years ago He’s lucky he didn’t gain weight over his lifetime so he could keep the role. Although maybe they would have put someone else in the suit and he would have done the voice overs. 27
@

@runforthehills7076 months ago Apparently, he was rotten to his co star who played R2D2. If there's anyone who's cashing in on Star Wars....it's him
@

@caricaturepartylast year No offense to Anthony, but is America's favorite droid not R2D2?
@

@AnthonyAnthony-tk4ye3 weeks ago “What is it Anthony that causes this franchise to stand the test of time…”
Well, George Lucas created a great franchise, then Disney bought it and they have tons of money to throw at marketing….
