  • Anthony Daniels remains the only actor to have appeared in every Star Wars movie, even the spin-offs. However, Daniels’ famous droid, C-3PO, was not exactly a core part of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, something he freely admits. “In Episode 7, [director] J.J. [Abrams] had so many things to recreate that C-3PO’s main thing was a red arm – which we didn’t like.

  • Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the ninth instalment in the Skywalker saga, nears cinemas. For director J.J. Abrams, there was no way to end the saga without Princess Leia playing a vital role in the final film.
