I Am C-3PO

Actor Anthony Daniels recalls his many years as portraying the lovable golden robot C-3PO in the Star Wars films.

Who could ever imagined that playing a supporting role as a robot in a science fiction movies would blossom into a lifelong career, worldwide fame and a hefty paycheck?

Imagine playing the same character for over 40 years.

Rather than resent being relegated in everyone’s mind as a golden robot, Daniels embraced it, loved his fans and relished the opportunity to share his stories.

Daniels recalls first walking on the Star Wars set back in 1975 and continuing to play the character though nine Star Wars films.

The author proceeds to recount his experiences on the films, the trials and tribulations, working wit other actor (and creatures) and the various ins and outs of movie production.

From water-soaked sets to dry, desert wasteland Daniels donned the golden robot costume and endeared C-3PO to millions of moviegoers.

Despite the discomfort of the costume, limited mobility and field of vision Daniels soldiered on as he continually defined the character.

Included in the book are two color photo sections of behind-the-scenes shots.  I Am C-3PO The Inside Story by Anthony Daniels (with a foreword by director J.J. Abrams) is published by DK.

Proverbs 30:5 - Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
