C-3PO is the core of the story! The director of "Star Wars 9" said that the character has not been fully explored

The robot duo C-3PO and R2D2 hold a special place in the hearts of Star Wars fans, not only because their story runs through the entire original series, but also because their stubborn and neurotic personalities always provide laughs at the right times in the movie.

In the original story, R2D2 seems to be more important than C-3PO. The former stores important information about Leia and the Rebels, and becomes a clue to Luke Skywalker's adventure. Therefore, director JJ Abrams has added a role for C-3PO in the upcoming "Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker".

In an interview with Uproxx, the director said that C-3PO will play an important role in the story. "C-3PO will be the central character of the story, and Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) does more." Although the director finally kept his mouth shut and did not reveal more, he admitted that he thought the golden robot character was "not fully utilized" in previous "Star Wars" movies.

Daniels expressed regret over performing a particular scene, but JJ Abrams insisted that he continue to perform: "I told him, this is what you want! But I promise he performed very well in this performance. I don't think he has ever performed better."

“C-3PO has more to do with The Rise of Skywalker than any other film in years. It turns out that exploring this side of an underutilized character can be a great service to the audience… It’s very practical, it’s very enlightening, and it’s a whole new way of looking at a character.”

C-3PO appeared in the latest "Star Wars 9" final promotional video and uttered a meaningful line: "Take one last look at my friends." Combined with what director JJ Abrams said, perhaps it has a very dangerous mission in the movie that no one else can do.

"Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker" will be released in China on December 20, bringing the series to a close. It is worth looking forward to.
