Star Wars 9: C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels reveals 'magical EMOTIONAL' Leia ending

Star Wars fans already said a tearful farewell to their princess. Carrie Fisher died just days after The Last Jedi hit cinemas in December 2017. Rise of Skywalker director JJ Abrams has already confirmed he will not kill Leia off-screen before the film starts. She will not appear in flashbacks. Luke’s sister and  Ben Solo’s mother will appear on the screen as part of the main action through miracles of modern technology. Daniels warns fans what he has seen of the scenes is very emotional.

Daniels spoke to the Express about his startlingly honest and moving new book, I Am C-3PO, which details his heartaches and triumphs as the iconic droid, as well as touching details about his famous co-stars.

He also opened up about what fans can expect from the upcoming final chapter in the Skywalker Saga.

When I asked about Leia and Carrie Fisher, Daniels said: “She never changed over all those years. She always had a naughty, silly sense of humour.

“There was a loveliness that ran through her. Even when you knew on set it was difficult for her.”

Daniels also revealed his joy at being reunited with Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill on the final Sequel Trilogy.

He said: “It was very nice on Episode 7 to come back and be with the old team. Harrison Ford retains such enormous normality, even on the biggest sets and productions. He doesn’t change for anyone.

“He is very droll. He is a complicated man. Very dry, very wry. He doesn’t suffer fools, like me. I used to put in certain extra lines between C-3PO and Han Solo just to annoy him and get a reaction.

“All the disrespect from characters like Han Solo and Poe and Jabba the Hutt to C-3PO brings out such wonderful drama and humour.”

But Daniels always reserves special affection for Hamill.
