The 3’8” British actor appeared in all six “Star Wars” movies, not only as R2-D2, but also as Paploo, the Ewok who steals an Imperial speeder bike in “Return of the Jedi.” In the 1990s, he enjoyed stints as both a successful stand-up comedian and a harmonica player in a dance band. He released an autobiography in 2009, which he peddles at “Star Wars” conventions – but not ones attended by C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels, with whom he has a very nasty public feud. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Reed Saxon, AP Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.

Then: C-3POThis hapless protocol droid was designed to serve humans – something he did well, although often in spite of himself. Together with R2-D2, he played a major role in the eventual defeat of the Empire, despite being captured by Jawas, blasted by storm troopers and sloppily rebuilt by a Wookiee along the way. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Lucasfilm) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
