MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL FROM THREEPIO AND ME! MAY THE FESTIVITIES BE WITH YOU! #merrychristmas #threepio #c3po #iamc3po #presents #santa #lego
@eaglesnation_2020 asks if I played C-3PO in The Phantom Menace. Yes, I was Threepio’s voice in this film, but wasn’t in the costume as he’s a puppet. Read about it on Page 162 of the book. There’s also this very good featurette about Threepio in Episodes I and II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc48uOv_nqA #c3po #threepio #iamc3po #iamc3potheinsidestory @dkbooks #tatooine #thephantommenace @starwars
Remembering my lovely team, Joe, Sophie and Simon. Each time, before I went on set, Joe polished Threepio’s face to be sure he was looking his best. #wadirum @annieleibovitz @vanityfair #theriseofskywalker #c3po #threepio @starwars #bb8
@mario.basilicata asks which is my favourite Star Wars film. As a film to watch, the answer has to be A New Hope. Love this shot with Luke when Threepio’s left arm had become detached during a Tusken Raider attack. Note the bumps on Threepio’s head and chin. Read the book, pages 49 – 50, to find out how we got this shot to work. But my favourite film to act in? Different answer. #anewhope #lukeskywalker @hamillhimself #c3po #threepio #tatooine #tuskenraider #iamc3po @dkbooks
@tzargotha asks if I have pics of my first team on A New Hope. There are several in the book. And stories of the early days. Here Maxi (Phil McDonald), #jimmarlow and Norman Reynolds are struggling to get Threepio’s head on. #anewhope #c3po #threepio #iamc3potheinsidestory @dkbooks @starwars #tatooine
Love that no one who was reading the book gave the game away and told which voicing job was my favourite! But I’ll share now anyway. It was indeed THE YODA CHRONICLES! Brilliant script! #yoda #c3po #threepio #iamc3po @dkbooks #thesimpsons @starwars #lego #legostarwars
@luca.de.dog and @nachomurga ask if I voiced C-3PO in the Clone Wars. The answer is yes, and Rebels and Droids too. But my favourite voicing job was for a different series. You probably already know which one. If not, read about it on pages 198-99 of my book! #clonewars #droids #droid #starwarsrebels @starwars #c3po #iamc3po #iamc3potheinsidestory @dkbooks #threepio
I’m hugely appreciative of all your kind words about my book. I do try to read all your comments but can’t possibly respond to everyone who asks, otherwise Instagram would become a job instead of a joy. Today I was buying a coffee at Victoria Station in London and a complete stranger approached me to tell me how much he was enjoying reading the book. Magic! This pic illustrates a story I tell on pages 195-196. I’m adjusting Threepio’s position in the Star Wars and The Power of Costume exhibition in Times Square NYC. Joanee Honour, from the archive team at Lucas Film, looks on anxiously. @lucasfilm #thepowerofcostume #bb8 #r2d2 #c3po #iamc3po #victoriastation @dkbooks @starwars
My favourite film to act in was The Rise of Skywalker. I write about why that is on pages 234 – 249. The crew, the cast, the sets, the locations. And JJ. Here I am being prepared to go on set in Jordan. Nearby, as always, is Orin Beaton, main boom operator for Episodes VII, VIII and IX.

I’m reading your comments about the film. Thanks for kind words. Watched it three times now and more to see each time. That Pasaana speed chase was a hairy ride! Glad Eunice insisted on clipping me on! #pasaanaspeederchase #eunicehuthart @vanityfair @annieleibovitz #theriseofskywalker @starwars #iamc3po #c3po
Thrilling poster of the Star Speeder belting through the deadliest fleet ever (with C-3PO at the wheel). How much do I LOVE being a part of STAR TOURS! Congratulations to Tom Fitzgerald and the brilliant team of Disney imagineers. #startours #disneyparks @disney #starspeeder1000 #imagineer #c3po #iamc3po #theriseofskywalker
@_maxi.taxi_ just tagged me on a pic of my footprints outside #graumanschinesetheatre on #hollywoodboulevard. Read about the day I put them there, and Rick Baker’s involvement, on page 86 of the book. Christine took this photo in 2009 when we were in LA for Star Wars in Concert. #starwarsinconcert #r2d2 #darthvader #c3po #iamc3po @dkbooks @starwars @therickbaker #rickbaker #newbalance
@rob_phenomenalautoleasing mentioned enjoying the 1977 vinyl record of the original film, which uses the actors’ voices taken from the sound track. Here’s the record cover, an iconic photo taken by John Jay, which I talk about on page 137 of the book. The photo includes a few things that shouldn’t really be there. #vinylrecords #thestoryofstarwars #c3po #r2d2 @starwars #anewhope #iamc3po #vinyl @dkbooks
Lots of great comments about my footprints, so I looked out a photo from 1977. Seems there’s another form of communication Threepio can perform (with help) – stick writing! #hollywoodboulevard #c3po #footprints #graumanschinesetheatre #iamc3po #1977 @starwars #anewhope
@panteradave mentions that I cuss at Alan Tudyk and the others who do mocap. Well, yes, but I love them all! Fav pic of Alan and me at the LA premiere of Rogue One. @alantudyk #k2so #mocap #rogueone @starwars #iamc3po #hollywood
Midnight on Primrose Hill. The Saga is complete. I was there from the start. A curious stroke of Fate or Force. Then you all came along and made the journey more special than I could have ever imagined. So, as this new decade begins, let us continue our journeys with joy. HAPPY NEW YEAR! #iamc3po #c3po #newyearseve #2020 #primrosehill
Honoured to be backstage @royaloperahouse with the stars of the Royal Ballet, after a brilliant, exhausting, performance of Onegin last night. Emotionally exhausting for the audience too. Thanks to the entire cast. Loved it! @marianelanunezofficial @riohirano @nicoledmonds @akanetakane #lukasbjørneboebrændsrød #onegin #johncranko #iamc3po #royalballet
The possibility of being mistaken for an Oscar statuette is approximately … Hope our nominees are successful! @theacademy #academyawards #vfx @johnwilliams.music #sound #bb8 #c3po #iamc3po @starwars #theriseofskywalker @lucasfilm
Another event to announce! This one should please @seattlecub_206 whose been asking me to come to his home town since I started doing Instagram. I’ll be at the EMERALD CITY COMIC CON, WA State Convention Centre, on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 March. @emeraldcitycomiccon #seattle #emeraldcity #c3po #iamc3potheinsidestory @starwars #threepio
Mark Newbold sent me this nice pic from Star Wars Insider. Here’s a link to the latest issue where you’ll find his article https://titan-comics.com/m/30-star-wars-insider-194/ @titancomics @fanthatracks @starwars #c3po #iamc3po #theriseofskywalker
Just when I thought I could go for a long lie down – invitations have started pouring in! So, here’s the first 2020 date for your diaries: 22/23 FEBRUARY. I’ll be signing at COMIC CON BRUSSELS! It’s going to be a great weekend, with lots of Star Wars guests. Copies of my book will be available at the event. @comicconbrussels @leetowersey @brian_hezza @warwickadavis @tour.taxis #c3po #iamc3po @dkbooks @starwars #r2d2 #bb8
With genius producer, Tom Fitzgerald, at the voiceover recording of C-3PO-as-pilot for the amazing new TROS sequence in “Star Tours – The Adventures Continue”. What a blast! Enjoy! #startours @disney #disneyparks #pilot #c3po #iamc3po
See me in Marseille on May 23 at STAR WARS IN CINÉ-CONCERT!
