Anthony Daniels – who plays C3PO in the Star Wars movies – has revealed on Twitter that the latest instalment, Star Wars: Episode VII may surpass what many consider the best of the franchise, The Empire Strikes Back.
The actor wrote on his Twitter: “No movie sequel is better than The Empire Strikes Back. You might eat those words for Xmas dinner in 2015. Joy & Indigestion to the world!”
Looks like Daniels is certainly confident with what Disney and Lucasfilm have accomplished with Episode VII…
Star Wars: Episode VII is set for release on December 18th 2015 and sees returning stars Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Kenny Baker (R2-D2) and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) joined by Adam Driver (Girls), Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis), Andy Serkis (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Domhnall Gleeson (Dredd), John Boyega (Attack the Block), Daisy Ridley (Silent Witness), Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave), Miltos Yerolemou (Game of Thrones), Max von Sydow (The Exorcist), Christina Chong (24: Live Another Day) and newcomers Crystal Clarke and Pip Andersen.
