About this listen
DK Audio presents the audiobook edition of I Am C-3PO: The Inside Story, written and read by Anthony Daniels.
Including a foreword written and read by J.J. Abrams and a selection of music from the Star Wars films, composed by John Williams.
“The odds of me ever writing a book were approximately...Oh, never mind. My golden companion worries about such things - I don’t. I have indeed now written a book - telling my story, in my voice, not his - recognising that our voices and our stories are inextricably intertwined.”
When Star Wars burst on to the big screen in 1977, an unfailingly polite golden droid called C-3PO captured imaginations around the globe. But C-3PO wasn’t an amazing display of animatronics with a unique and unforgettable voice-over.
Inside the metal costume was an actor named Anthony Daniels.
In this deeply personal memoir, Anthony Daniels recounts his experiences of the epic cinematic adventure that has influenced pop culture for more than 40 years. For the very first time, he candidly describes his most intimate memories as the only actor to appear in every Star Wars film - from his first meeting with George Lucas to the final, emotional days on the set of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
With a foreword by J.J. Abrams, this book is a nostalgic look back at the Skywalker saga as it comes to a close. I Am C-3PO: The Inside Story reveals Anthony Daniels’ vulnerability, how he established his role and what he accomplished, and takes listeners on a journey that just happens to start in a galaxy far, far away.
Music from the original motion picture soundtracks for A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi was composed and conducted by John Williams. It was performed by the London symphony orchestra in 1977, 1979/80 and 1983. Copyright to the remastered 2018 recordings are held by Walt Disney Records & Lucasfilm Ltd.
Music from the original motion picture soundtracks for A Phantom Menace was composed and conducted by John Williams. It was performed again by the London Symphony Orchestra in 1999. Copyright to the remastered 2018 recordings are held by Walt Disney Records & Lucasfilm Ltd.
Music from the Star Wars movie The Force Awakens was composed by John Williams, conducted by John Williams and William Ross and performed by the Hollywood Freelance Studio Symphony in 2015. Copyright to the 2015 recording is held by Walt Disney Records & Lucasfilm Ltd.

IT'S 3P0, OF COURSE ITS PERFECTION
One for fans of the saga set in a galaxy far, far away, and for fans of the inimitable Mr Daniels himself. It's a love story to all those that worked on and brought the supreme of Human Cyborg relations into our lives. And a love story between Mr Daniels and his dear friend 3p0.
Warmer than a Taun Taun meeting a spliced fate on Hoth, it's like you're curled up in a room with Mr Daniels, and he is blithely telling you his story. Truths behind the legends. And life out of his own personal Iron Maiden, all revealed with such honesty and humour.
A must, a treat and a pleasure to have in my library. I'll re-listen to this over and over. You will too.

A wonderful insight.
A wonderful insight into an under appreciated character that is very much an icon of Star Wars. Immortalised on screen forever by an actor who is very protective of, and very much loves C3PO as if he was a family member. Well done Anthony and thank you from a life long fan of 40 years.
