STAR WARS - DANIELS: 'JACKSON AND MCGREGOR WOULDN'T LEAVE ME ALONE'

STAR WARS actor ANTHONY DANIELS was stunned when he began filming THE PHANTOM MENACE - SAMUEL L. JACKSON and EWAN MCGREGOR wouldn't stop pestering him for autographs. Daniels, who played C-3PO in all six Star Wars films, was starstruck when he saw the two A-List actors preparing for their first appearance in the blockbuster franchise - but it turns out they were more nervous meeting him. Speaking at the launch of the Star Wars Exhibition in London, England on Friday (04May07), he recalled, "This generation of actors grew up on Star Wars, and you kind of forget that sometimes. "When we were filming The Phantom Menace, Samuel and Ewan wouldn't leave me alone. They couldn't believe they were to talking to C-3PO for real."
