Within the run-up to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, there was a number of concern from followers that C-3PO would meet a tragic finish within the film. As he’s the one character, alongside R2-D2, to seem in each episode of the Skywalker saga, it was thought this could possibly be it for the nervy protocol droid. Particularly because the trailers made an enormous deal out of that scene the place Threepio “takes one final look” at his associates.
Of course, as we all know, he made it out absolutely in tact, with even his lacking recollections returned to him. So does this imply that the door is open for Threepio to come back again in future movies? Star Anthony Daniels appears fairly sure that it does. When requested concerning the droid’s future on The View, Daniels revealed that director J.J. Abrams made clear he wasn’t going to kill off the long-lasting character.
“Oh, he’s not over. I mentioned to J.J., after we had been filming, ‘Perhaps it’s time to place Threepio to sleep, to present him an finish,’ and he mentioned, ‘Not on my watch.’”
Seemingly cautious of claiming an excessive amount of, the British actor went on to recommend that, whether or not he returns to the franchise or not, C-3PO isn’t actually gone, as followers can quickly watch the Skywalker saga from begin to end at their leisure at any time when they like.
“However one of many nice issues that occurred is that, again within the day, 1975, you couldn’t have video in your house, it didn’t exist. Massive TV studios, you may have it. Now, it’s gone via all of the iterations from laserdisc to no matter, and now you do have it, initially downloadable, and on the finish of the month, you may truly purchase it on disc, and right here’s the necessary factor: when you’ve got it on disc, you’ve got management. Within the movie show, it whizzes by, at dwelling, you may say, ‘Oh, I wish to see Anthony Daniels in that scene once more.’”
In Episode IX, Threepio proves key to the plot when he’s the one one who can translate the inscription on the Sith dagger that may lead the heroes to the Sith Wayfinder, which is able to in flip direct them to Palpatine’s hideaway on Exegol. As a result of his programming, although, the droid is forbidden from studying the Sith language. Lengthy story quick, Babu Frik reprograms him and he reads the dagger, however at the price of his recollections. Fortunately, Artoo is ready to redownload all of them into his noggin after they reunite on the Resistance base.
Like Daniels reminds us, we’ll have the ability to watch Threepio’s newest – final? who is aware of? – journey when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker arrives on Digital HD subsequent Tuesday, March 17th. The Blu-Ray then drops on March 31st.
