On Tuesday, Entertainment Weekly posted an interview with Anthony Daniels who's famous for playing C-3PO in the Star Wars movies. He mentioned one of his favorite parts about playing the character and something he did not want to do for the upcoming movie.
"I will tell you that when [director] J.J. Abrams rang me to ask about filming Episode VII, one of the first things he said after he told me how wonderful I was- and that didn't take long- but he then said, 'Would you be interested in 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 would just do the voice."

This eventually led Daniels into wearing a different costume since he also made it clear that he didn't want to have the same suit from before.
"I will tell you that the team then got together and built a new suit," the actor said. "They made an entirely new look-a-like with changes that you will never notice [on screen] that made my life a lot easier. I can get it on and off very quickly. [During the prequels], the only time [Threepio has] been CG was when it was very dangerous [to act in the scene in a suit]- and it wasn't very good."
Star Wars: Episode VII is expected to hit theaters on December 18, 2015.
