Daniels voiced C-3PO in the Star Wars radio serial based on the original trilogy. He is the only cast member of the original Star Wars trilogy to voice his character in all three parts of NPR's dramatisations of the trilogy.
In video games, C-3PO is voiced by Daniels, Tom Kane and Tony Pope. Simon Pegg voices the character in a 2014 Star Wars-themed episode of the animated television series Phineas and Ferb.
Initially not a science fiction fan, theatre actor Anthony Daniels was persuaded by his agent to meet George Lucas for the casting of C-3PO in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). He went on to perform the character, both his voice and body in the suit, for all the episodic Star Wars films produced.
in the Dark Horse comic series star Wars Tales, which is now part of legends, it's revealed that Darth Vader did recognize C. 3PO on Cloud City. when 3PO was shot by Stormtroopers, his parts were brought before Vader. because the Imperials thought he could hold valuable.

What gender is C-3PO?
C-3PO is a droid. "He" is only even a "he" because someone opted to give him and leave him with a male voice. He's a protocol droid, not a sex toy, so he does not appear to have any sort of sexual functions at all.
Daniels made cameos as C-3PO in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka. Daniels is the only actor to act in all nine films of the Skywalker saga, two anthology films, the Star Wars Holiday Special, the 2008 Clone Wars film, the related television series and several TV series (animated and live-action).
secondly, in Legends, R2 was given programming that actually restricted him. from sharing any information with Luke or Leia. about their parents or relation to one another. this was all part of the plan. to conceal this information from the twins.
Darth Vader acts like he doesn't even know C-3PO or R2D2. They were with him since he was a child. He did everything he could to forget his past. Also, his plating had been replaced many times, and protocol droids all look very similar.
That C-3PO can read Sith but cannot talk about it is used for laughs, when it could have worked also as one of the side effects of Luke and Leia's willful blindness and fear of Ben's dark side, and the obfuscation that they brought upon themselves.
They aren't abbreviations — they're model and serial numbers. R2 is a second generation R-series astromech, serial number D2. * And C-3PO is a C-series protocol droid with the serial number 3PO.
English actor Kenny Baker played R2-D2 in all three original Star Wars films and received billing credit for the character in the prequel trilogy, where Baker's role was reduced as R2-D2 was portrayed mainly by radio controlled props and CGI models.
As has been noted in several instances, Artoo has never had a full memory wipe, enabling him to retain his recollections of everything he saw and heard over the decades. This includes his first meeting with Padme Amidala, a nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, and C-3PO himself during the events of The Phantom Menace.
While it is no secret that, aside from Jar-Jar Binks, C-3PO is perhaps the most hated character within the Star Wars universe as he constantly complains and treats the much more useful R2-D2 terribly.
As evidenced in the world of Star Wars, the galaxy is chock full of 3PO series protocol droids, making the odds of C-3PO being the same droid that worked on the farm decades ago incredibly slim. Owen could have easily assumed that these were two different protocol droids if he didn't put much thought into it.
R2-D2 was present when Padmé gave birth to Leia and Luke, so he knew Luke was Anakin's son – but what he didn't know was that Anakin became Darth Vader. In addition to that, Anakin's fall was surely a painful event in R2-D2's life, one that he definitely wouldn't like to remember or even talk about.
Instead, the diminutive droid appears to have kept his own counsel, perhaps wary of interfering too much in Luke's personal journey. C-3PO lost those memories, but he remained with Han and Leia's family after Return of the Jedi, so can reasonably be assumed to have learned the truth by eavesdropping.
That's because whenever Luke speaks in "The Mandalorian" or "The Book of Boba Fett," it's actually a computer piecing together... The post Why Luke Skywalker's Voice Sounds So Weird in The Book of Boba Fett appeared first on /Film.
The base assumption of why Obi-Wan doesn't remember R2-D2 -- in light of the prequels -- is that Obi-Wan is feigning ignorance in A New Hope to downplay the importance of the droid's arrival. That explanation holds the most water for a number of reasons.
After decades of missions with R2-D2, Luke Skywalker was reasonably fluent in droidspeak. The most common way for binary droids to communicate with organics was by writing, conveyed via another computer system. This is how astromech droid copilots would speak with the pilot of a starfighter.
Pet parents like myself might have a growing interest in this space opera after learning that the inspiration for Chewbacca was a dog. Specifically, this lovable Wookiee is based on George Lucas' Alaskan Malamute named Indiana.
Biography. Kenny Baker, at 3 feet, 8 inches (112 cm) tall, was a circus and cabaret performer with entertainer Jack Purvis when George Lucas hired him to be the man inside R2-D2 in Star Wars in 1977.
A young George Lucas talks with Anthony Daniels, who plays the robot C-3PO, on the set for the original 1977 film "Star Wars: A New Hope." C3PO is shown with Luke Skywalker, played by Mark Hamill, in this photo during the making of "Star Wars: A New Hope."
