Besides his body of work, he has my respects for dating Evangeline Lilly.

Your prejudice is showing.. do you know ANYTHING about the character? Apart from the name?

Darth Darth Binks. Calling it now.

Anthony Daniels gave a Parisian press conference to promote his book, and talk about The Rise of Skywalker . Most of his interview he gave was in French. Lucky for us, u/future_alliance speaks and understand French, so here are a couple of snippets he gave regarding TROS:

-Was there during the filming of the official poster scene, says it took them 6 days to film that scene. It was brutal because it was in November and it was non-stop wave after wave. Gave huge props to Daisy and Adam for going through that. Called Daisy a true character hero in the trilogy and in no way, because she's a feminine character, was it politically driven.

-Is aware of the fan division, reads and hears that some fans are saying they will never watch TROS, says he doesn't believe it because this film is the final one, and he believes they'll be first in line.

- Says he was but decor for the last two films of the ST, but that he definitely, for once, is involved a lot as he's part of the hero's adventure.

-Says everyone will be satisfied with the ending, called JJ a brilliant mind as well as Chris Terrio, as they really gathered all the scattered storyline pieces and concluded them. Says there is something for everyone in this movie from darkside lovers to light side.

-Confirms that R2 will be in a desert scene, where he explained that because he can't really see, he has to pretend to see R2, and at one point in TROS, he has to put his hand on R2 as he usually does but that they took R2's helmet off this time, so he almost fell over. Had a laugh. Says R2 is played by an actor called Hassan, at least for that scene.

- Anthony Daniels says the film has a lot of secrets. What he means by that is anyone's guess.

Thanks to u/future_alliance

If you speak French there is a lot more in the interview about his role is the Saga films and it’s rather sentimental and worth the watch.

Thanks for sharing!

What a nice guy! And his french his decent, I'm impressed!

I loved that he acknowledged that John Williams music is a character in itself in the movies.

For those wondering, his favorite one is Episode 4, even though it was horrible to film, especially in the desert where it got really hot in the costume. Love that he said that one of the thing that made this movie special was that there was no expectation at all, nobody knew what was Star Wars at the time. It was magical. Sadly, that's something that is lost for a lot of people now.

He was also asked what is his worst episode and he tactfully returned the question to the guy that said Episode 1. He said that he understood that this movie got a lot of hate when it came out, but recently got to ask someone which one was his favorite and he answered Episode 1, because he grew up with it, and he liked Jar Jar. Nice to reminds us that every episode can be the favorite one of someone else and that in the end, it's only subjective.

New Mon Cal General. It could be Aftab Ackbar but I have no confirmation as of yet.

Confirmation that Aftab is Admiral Ackbar’s son.

I’m off to Wookieepedia to make edits.

Allegiance 2

The sequel materiel is really throwing stuff out there now. We get a look at IX ships, snowtroopers, First Order bombers, and the hint of the future Resistance fleet. Real big boons for both X-wing and Armada.

If it was not for the lack of ground forces for the Resistance the sequel troopers would be ready to go. Does make me wonder if we are getting Scum first or First Order/Resistance? My money was on scum, but I am not sure now.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is nothing preventing them to release the First Order alone, without the Resistance. There is nothing forcing them to release them both at the same time in yet another Core Set. Just look at how both the Republic and Separatist faction in X-Wing got release, both independantly and not tied to a Core Set.

It's quite possible that it is what Andrew meant when he said that they were revising the initial idea of releasing a Sequel trilogy Core Set. Maybe they are just considering releasing every new factions independantly than from yet another Core Set.

I could see a First Order starter pack including Kylo Ren or Captain Phasma, 2 squad of First Order Stormtroopers, a set of dice, tokens, rulers and Command cards. It would also be an easier entry way.

Mind blown! Never thought of them doing just one faction at a time. I figure they are going to change how they release products (hinted at with them going from 6 to 8 and will still do Scum first, but man I can see them doing one faction at a time. Would really help with their Clone Wars problems that have risen up recently.

Its crazy how the First Order got at least 3 commanders, two heavies, 3 infantry, 2 special forces, and a few supports. Really they only need help in their operative spot.

As for Resistance they got the V-4X and a quick check on the wook......... 1 speeder lol. At least they got a lot of commanders and operatives. Maybe go the same route as X-wing Resistance? All of their junk is just named heroes in different roles with special abilities. Black Squadron does a lot of leg work, a Vi special forces unit, Zay Versio with Dio and Shriv, and maybe use that skiff from 9 as a heavy that we could switch out the heroes on it?
