Since C-3PO’s portrayal remains the same during the six first film, the character is the only one throughout the entire saga that is played by the same actor (Anthony Daniels.) Yesterday night, the actor wrote on Twitter that Episode VII might very well be the Best Star Wars sequel ever.
"No movie sequel is better than The Empire Strikes Back." You might eat those words for Xmas dinner in 2015. Joy & Indigestion to the world!

Oh, and incidentally, did you know that the movie has just finished shooting?
