Star Wars veteran Anthony Daniels, who is best known for playing C-3PO, has claimed his confidence in director J.J. Abrams is why Stars Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is the film to end on.
“By happenstance, one of the best films is going to be Rise of Skywalker that I have adored working on,” Daniels told The Star Wars Show. “I believe, the bits I’ve seen, knowing what happened on the set, knowing what JJ’s like with his huge brain, huge intellect, huge spark, his childish joy in the whole thing, that’s gonna make this film for me the one to end on.”
Although Daniels is the only actor to have appeared in all nine episodes of the Skywalker Saga, he isn’t at all sad that it’s coming to end and welcomes the story is stopping here.
“No, not at all,” he said. “I think it’s good when a story comes to an end. Let’s stop here, because we had a great time.”
“My last day, curiously, I was with other actors on the set. And I didn’t have a thing to say,” Daniels recalled. “C-3PO was there, looking around, didn’t have any lines. My last day, after all these years, nothing, nada. Isn’t that weird? It’s really ironic.”
