It's a wrap for Anthony Daniels on Star Wars 9. The iconic C-3PO actor has the rare distinction of being in every single installment in the Star Wars franchise since the beginning. The gold droid has been treated like garbage and torn apart, treated like a god, and taken the backseat in more recent times. While we don't know a whole lot about what is going to happen in Star Wars 9, Daniels promises that it will be more than worth the wait. It looks as if J.J. Abrams is starting to finish up filming on Star Wars 9. The highly anticipated final chapter in the Skywalker saga has been in production since August, taking only brief breaks for the holidays. Now that C-3PO has gone home, one can imagine that plenty of the other actors are done with their work too. Anthony Daniels announced that he finished with a touching goodbye message.

x Mark Hamill isn’t exactly work-shy. Ever since A New Hope release, he’s been keeping awfully busy, reprising the role of Luke Skywalker, appearing in a number of other movies and lending his acrobatic vocal talents to a variety of animated and video game characters. But with Disney’s Sequel Trilogy having kicked his career up a notch, together with his confirmed appearance in Star Wars: Episode IX, even he thinks he might deserve Labor Day off.
