This post contains nothing new per se, but we thought it was noteworthy of pointing out a couple of facts gleamed left and right. The info here will not be marked as spoilers since it has already been posted, but if you really want to stay 100% spoiler free, and have succeeded so far in avoiding the official site, you may want to skip.
While we've had no reports from the set itself (security sure is high!), there has been two noticeable hints this last week about the future of C3P0. First, one from the official site:
Editor Ben Burtt: "The thrill for me today was seeing C-3PO reborn. I got to put the faceplate on Anthony Daniels. The character suddenly came alive."
A lot of you wrote in, having picked on the obvious implication. Daniels had no need to be "in" C3P0 for episode 1, since the droid was basically a puppet. Also, the Jay Laga'aia interview that we posted here:
...Anthony Daniels who mentioned having just worn his full C-3P0 suit for the first time in 15 years and saying that "it just fit"
So there, put these two together, and what do you get? A complete C-3P0, with Daniels back inside! That should make a few 3P0 fans happy. Now the big question is, will we see a transition? Will we see C3P0 being finished? Or will that have happened during the 10 year gap between episode 1 and 2? As soon as we know,we'll share it with you!
