Summary
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 must listen for all Star Wars fans
A fantastic listen. A well written and read book. I couldnt imagine it being read by anyone else. Like he did and does with C3PO Anthony Daniels brings this book to life. Listening to this book it is easy to imagine being there watching everything happening. A book that is best listened too than read as Anthony Daniels just makes it better and is how I will be recommending to my friends how to read/listen to this amazing book. It really is a masterpiece. Thank you Anthony Daniels for bringing both this book and the much loved C3PO to life.

Loved it
I am glad I didn’t listen to the ‘nay sayers’ bad reviews & went ahead with this purchase. Fantastic geek level back story details from a new perspective about the making of Star Wars. Well done mr Daniels, sounds like a supreme physical effort was required bringing 3PO into our lives. I enjoyed the pace & tone of the narration also.

One of my favourite characters of all time.
It was great to hear Anthony Daniels story of his experience as C-3PO and how it affected his life. I found it as a Star Wars fan to be a story from a fantastic viewpoint. The only concern was the chapter titles sounded like they were cut short so I couldn’t make out what the title was.
