Star Wars Viewers Just Realising One Actor Was In Every Movie, Including Spinoffs

Star Wars fans have just realised that one actor has been in every movie, including the spin-offs.

Since its inception in 1977, Star Wars has been one of the biggest properties in all of entertainment, and not just in the world of Hollywood movies. The battles taking place in a galaxy, far, far away, continue to inspire generations of fans to this very day.

Granted, in recent years, it’s not always been great, especially with the sequel trilogy and some of its Disney Plus series, namely The Acolyte, but even those haven't diminished the love that fans have for the sci-fi franchise.

For a movie series that is nearly half a century old, has had many movies and spin-offs, surely there’s not an actor who has starred in just about every one, right? Well, there is.

“You mean to tell me that this man acted in the originals, prequels and sequels? He got to meet the cast of all the trilogies! This man experienced Star Wars like no one else,” claimed Redditor Leoxwhite.

Ian McDiarmid has featured in the Star Wars original, prequel and sequel trilogies as Emperor Palpatine and Darth Sidious. However, another actor for a popular character has featured in more.

“Anthony Daniels would like a word. He’s even in a lot of the animated material,” replied DaddyO1701.

“You're right! I completely forgot about him because he is under the C-3PO mask, but you are 100% right,” Leoxwhite responded.

Anthony Daniels has played C-3PO in all of the mainline movies, as well as some of the animated productions, and other characters in all the spin-offs as a cameo.

One of those cameos was in A Star Wars Story: Solo, as stated by Merketa, with MalcoveMagnesia adding that it was for a character named Tak.

Apparently, Anthony Daniels playing Tak is easy to miss, but Starwarsordie points out that he gets slammed to a ceiling by a Wookie but doesn't mention whether it's Chewbacca or Sagwa.

“Plus, he was in The Holiday Special,” said Wuzzy_Gee.

“Get him in The Mandalorian & Grogu, now!” demanded DragonbornWizard85.

It would be cool if Anthony Daniels appears in The Mandalorian & Grogu, because it would be a shame if his impressive movie streak came to an abrupt end. I guess we’ll find out when it arrives in cinemas on 22 May 2026 (assuming it doesn't get delayed).

In the meantime, while we wait for The Mandalorian & Grogu, we can watch the entire Star Wars saga on Disney Plus and enjoy all the appearances of Anthony Daniels until our hearts are content.
