C-3PO Actor Explains Origin of His Attack of the Clones Cameo
C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels explains the origin of his cameo in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Episode II was released in 2002 as the second entry in George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel trilogy. Taking place 10 years after The Phantom Menace, the film sees a separatist movement threaten the Republic and begin the Clone Wars just as Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) professes his love to Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman), all of which leads to the eventual rise of the Galactic Empire in Revenge of the Sith.
The Star Wars franchise has featured many musicians, actors, and celebrities in cameos throughout its 11 movies and several shows. For example, during a bar scene in Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) famously uses a Jedi mind trick on dealer Elan Sel’Sabagno, who he tells“you don't want to sell me Death Sticks." The latter role is played by Matt Doran, who audiences might recognize as Mouse from The Matrix. Furthermore, the scene in Coruscant’s Outlander Club features out-of-costume cameos by Jar Jar Binks and C-3PO actors, Ahmed Best and Daniels, respectively. This year marked two decades since Attack of the Clones released in theaters, and Daniels recently shared how that cameo came about.
