I replaced the paragraph that got deleted about Daniels' sexual orientation. It's certainly information about Daniels, and is not at all pov or inflammatory. It's interesting info, esp. the part about how he's discussed C3PO in this context. Daniels doesn't "make an issue" of it, so let's not us too. It's information, and doesn't need to be deleted. Maybe some references? But it doesn't need to be deleted.

I'm going to delete it again. I'm sure his girlfriend would be interested to know of his gayness. Do you have a reference for it? — KayEss | talk 05:19, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
Fair enough. --Staecker 12:48, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
I can back KayEss up on this one. I've known Tony and his girlfriend for many years. He is not homophobic, but he is heterosexual. I also am not sure what the article means about political activity. I'll have to ask him about it, or perhaps better, get him to contribute to the article. --Dumbo1 17:58, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
It's generally frowned upon for people to contribute to articles about themselves. Best if we ask him and write it up. I also am not sure about the political thing. — KayEss | talk 06:04, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

I vaguely recall Daniels releasing a CD of his readings of the his Wonder Column. If anyone can track this down, they should add it to the article.

You're so lucky to know Anthony Daniels. I'm a big fan and have met him twice!

This article contradicts itself. In the first paragraph, it says he did not appear in Episode III. In the closing paragraph, it says he does. Anyone know which one is true?

He was in all 6 films.

[edit] Examiner article

Can we please post a link to the Examiner article which quotes Kenny Baker? The "feuding" part is making me a bit uncomfortable without some citation. It seems quite POV if there is none. The only places that seem to corroborate this assertion are two sites that have either lifted this article verbatim or from which this article was plagiarized; can't tell which came first.

I tried to get rid of it and it was reverted. ChrisStansfield 17:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Only Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker in all 6 movies?

It is stated in the first paragraph that Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker are the only actors that have acted in all six Star Wars movies. However, as far as I know, Ian McDiarmid acted as Darth Sidious in all six movies. I've watched the trilogy and the prequel trilogy and the actor acting the Emperor is definitely Ian McDiarmid. If I am wrong, can someone clear this out? --Tekin 18:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

He's not in episode IV. Staecker 23:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually, he is the only one to appear in all 6. Kenny Baker was only in 5, they used a completely remote-control R2 in episode 3.71.79.154.118 (talk) 02:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Daniels has been politically active in the United Kingdom, but he has kept his politics and his professional life completely separate.

Can someone substantiate this please. Otherwise I will delete it, as it is in the "facts" section, but isn't sourced. I've known Anthony personally for many years and I don't know what this is supposed to be referring to.
