Anthony Daniels delivered such a treasured performance as C-3PO in Star Wars, it's hard to imagine he was ever offended by the part offer, but he was.
The Big Picture George Lucas' Star Wars was always intended to be enormous, told across multiple movies. For example, one needs to look no further than the title of an early draft of his script, "The Adventures of Luke Starkiller, as taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga One: The Star Wars".
Anthony Daniels Was Forced To Audition For Star Wars Anthony Daniels is an English actor who starred in hundreds of theater productions with the BBC Drama Company and the National Theatre before being invited to meet with George Lucas. The director was interested in Daniels' mime skills, indenting to replace the actor's voice in post-production, but Daniels had no interest in sci-fi after demanding a refund for 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968.
C-3PO Changed the Game for Face-Unseen Actors in Movies After arranging the conditions of his return with George Lucas, Anthony Daniels starred in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. His voice-only portrayal of the "naked" C-3PO in 1999's The Phantom Menace proved unsatisfying for the actor, who preferred to provide his character with a physical performance too, so the actor also became a puppeteer for the shoot.
