    Sigh. Yeah, like Anthony Daniels is going to reveal a Threepio "death" on Twitter or confirm that he's signed for future films.

    I picked up on that as well. May just be a figure of speech across the pond? I see the definition by Clone 3131 as well. One could take that as a hint there's a cliffhanger or uncertainty at the end of #7 that 3PO survives something. Wouldn't that be something to have a 3PO as someone who does a heroic suicidal act to save someone? That would truly be a full arc as a droid that has been obsessed with self preservation.

    Complete speculation since we know nothing about the story, nor in what order they're shooting scenes in....but with him finishing so soon, I wonder if this means he either has little screen time, or just doesn't have many scenes with other actors. For example...we haven't heard any scoops or leaks about any fischer scenes yet, have we? I wonder if he only interracts with a few of the cast.

    With the exception of TPM, the droids were definitely in the majority of the SW films. 3PO only showed up for a short time in TPM and he comes in halfway throw AOTC. Other then that they get a chunk of screen-time in each film. I hope JJ follows that tradition and they get their deserved chunk of time in EP7.

    Well, ROTS was different. A lot of Threepio's scenes were cut out of ROTS and Artoo disappears after the first act ends. They only play a part once the third act begins.

    Also, in the prequels, the droids (well, moreso threepio) were still getting introduced. 3PO wasn't part of the main cast until the end of ep 2, then onto ep 3, and even then he was just hanging out with Padme. In the OT, he was always with the main crew.

    I'm suprised that he already wrapped up filming all of his scenes. I hope Threepio will be featured in a lot of VII! It wouldn't be the same without his comic relief.

    Sorry if this has already been talked about, but is anyone curious about the "redesigned" astromech droid that MSW mentioned a little while ago? I feel like it's been lost in this deluge of other rumors. But from what MSW has said about it, it feels like there will be astromechs roaming around with a sleeker, updated look in the same vein of the new stormtrooper helmets. Can't wait to see this if true.

    3POs scenes probably aren't filled with much action, so it's quicker to film.

    How you could possibly interpret the word "terminal" to mean the character's death from that quote is beyond me.

    It'd be interesting if 3PO and R2 have become obsolete, with newer, more modern droids being more useful and efficient. Could provide some fun tension.

    I better see him scurrying through a blaster battle or two, preferably with little people. :p

    "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!

    I always thought 3PO felt like an afterthought in ROTS. He kind of hangs around in the background up until the final scenes.

    Don't want the droids to 'die' in these movies.

    I highly doubt it will be better than ESB, but if it even comes close…MY GOD. I'll probably live at the movie theater next December.

    Of course it's better! He finally got a comfortable C3PO suit.

    He is classy enough not to diss a film until after its been released. He opinion of the PT is pretty well known....that said..that he has such praise already makes me feel quiet euphoric.

    I AM SO READY FOR THIS ADVENTURE. Cuz it doesnt sound like a sequel, or call back, or anything but and awesome new adventure. I can feel it in my gut. I didnt even feel that way for TPM. I cannot wait.

    Daniels seems to be really convinced of the quality of the movie. Let's remember what he tweeted in May:

    So many privileges to acting in the Saga. Best yet, sitting at the read-through with the old & the new cast. And the story! You can't wait!
