He’s the busiest member of the Star Wars galaxy right now, appearing in the latest edition of Star Wars Insider this week (courtesy of a chat with yours truly) and this evening on The One Show on BBC One, and here we find Anthony once again as he chats with Digital Spy about his Star Wars experiences.

“It’s very odd because I didn’t want the interview with George Lucas. I was insulted to be offered the part, or to discuss the part of a robot in a low budget science fiction film. My agent made me go, and here I am today.

“I am now a heritage player. I have to get this right, because I keep calling us heirloom players, which I’m told is a type of vegetable, or tomato. It’s Harrison [Ford], Mark Hamill, Billy [Dee Williams] and I – and more.

“So there you go. It is odd to be the observer, against my will originally, but now with amazement.
