Actor Anthony Daniels told Star Wars producers he would only return as character C3P0 if he could get back in the robot's famous golden suit.
Daniels, who played the character in the original 1970s and 1980s films, was approached by director J.J. Abrams who offered him a role in the
new instalment, Star Wars: Episode VII.
However, Abrams originally offered Daniels a voice only part, which he turned down.
Daniels tells Entertainment Weekly, "When JJ Abrams rang me to ask about filming Episode VII, one of the first things he said was 'Would you be interested being in the film just doing the voice?'
"I said, 'No.' And he said, 'Right!' He knew I'd say that. There's no way I'd just do the voice."
