Who is C3PO

C3PO is voiced by actor Anthony Daniels in all six Star Wars movies, and in radio dramas, some of the audio books, and the animated Droids TV series that aired in 1985.

In Episode I, Threepio was puppeteered by someone else for a skeletal C3PO model, and the puppeteer was then digitally removed in editing. In Episode II, Daniels took over some of the puppeteering duties, but those scenes were later edited out and replaced with Daniels doing a voice over in post production editing. In Episodes II through VI, Daniels wore a costume for most of the filming and provided the voice of the droid.
