It’s A Wrap for Anthony Daniels on Star Wars: Episode 7.

george-lucas-star-wars1-300x1911

 

The confirmation came from the actor himself who played C-3PO in all 6 Star Wars episodes so far…

 

 

Filming started back in April with some 2nd unit action. Daniels is the first cast member to announce that he is done with the filming.

 

 

His last sentence is a bit puzzling. I hope he means his work with Episode VII is done but is still involved with other Star Wars projects.

 

And speaking about Twitter it appears that Daisy Ridley has deleted her account. I wonder what happened.

    He does say “only in relation to Ep.VII”. Also, maybe he’s talking about hoping he doesn’t have to go back in for any re-shoots?
    Any chance that Ridley is done also? She’s done with Twitter now. Or maybe she’s fed up with some of the dumb questions and insinuations that people make?

      Diasy:
      Happy Saturday folks. I am bowing out of twitter. I really appreciate all the support thus far and hope you LOVE the film!

      It has been and continues to be an INCREDIBLE experience with the most amazing group of people, cast and crew. Big Star Wars love.

      So, not done filming but fed up with twitter.

      I have a feeling Simin Pegg is going to become the next C3PO….

    They finally blow up c3po or they upgraded him into a new battle droid.

    I think he’s being humorous and saying he hopes he doesn’t die between now and episode 8. That it’s a wrap for the movie, but hopefully not for him.

    Think he means reshoots. If he has to come back then in theory that means he didn’t nail it the first time, or the screenplay wasn’t waertight. Either way, he doesn’t kean C3PO Is dead – even if he was there is still room for him in other Star Wars adaptations (games etc).

    It’s the internet. She’s an attractive female who’s now going to be ridiculously famous. I’d avoid the internet too 😛

    Now for Daniels it almost feels like he’s hinting at a possible fate/cliff hanger for 3PO. I mean he’s been blown apart before…

    Probably reading to much into it.

    I was wondering when the wrap party was going to be. Carrie Fisher said she would be in England for 6 months back in April, and that was 5 months ago. Thus principal filming should be about done for all. I’m sure there will be pick ups and re-shoots over the next few months.

    Also I’m sure we will start seeing more official publicity concerning characters and plot lines sometime after the 1st of 2015.

    Daisy Ridley closing her Twitter may be contractual – If she’s finished shooting, then for security reasons JJ may insist some/all cast members stay off Twitter, etc until Dec 2015, in case of inadvertent leaks from them.

    If this is truly the beginning of the enod of filming……..Leaked set photos and news etc will probably be drying up soon. Which I find sad. Making the wait til Dec 2015 even longer.

    3P0 is probably saying he doesn’t know if he’ll be back for EP8.

    A lot can happen in 2 years.

    He only hopes that his work is the end for VII ONLY, he’s hoping to come back for VIII.

    He obviously means reshoots. I imagine he wouldn’t want to have to travel and put on the costume just for reshoots and insert shots for timing purposes.

    I don’t think he’s talking about re-shoots. He wouldn’t say something (faux)dramatic like, “Time will tell.”

    Daniels is a pretty no nonsense guy. I think the most obvious interpretation is the correct one: he’s done with Ep7 but he hopes he’s not done with Star Wars.

    That said, we can’t read much into it, spoiler-wise. For all we know, it’s just a technicality (he can’t say he’s coming back till the script is done and he signs a contract).

    I really hope he isn’t somehow hinting that his health is declining and that he may not necessarily be available for the next two episodes.

    Of course, if they really have to, they can put someone else in the droid suit and find a person who can imitate Daniel’s 3PO voice well enough. But it has been said ever since the seventies that 3PO and R2 will be the only characters to appear in all nine Star Wars movies, and surely producers and fans alike would want to have Daniels in the role throughout.

    Sounds like he doesn’t know if he’ll be back or not for episode VIII. People are hearing what they want to hear. It seems pretty clear to me. This further backs my feelings that Gleeson is playing a new DROID and not the son of Luke.

    Actually Principal Photography started in May Lucasfilms did plate shooting in Iceland and other places in April. I remember a Helicopter Accident in Iceland in April, no one was injured in the crash.

I know his health was bad and there were rumors that he may not be able to shoot at all. anyone hear anything concrete on his involvment since the initial announcement??
