“Did you hear that?” Those are the first words spoken in 1977’s “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope” — a movie that launched a global obsession with Star Wars that has endured nearly 45 years. And who uttered those words? The beloved protocol droid C-3PO while fleeing the Imperial attack on the Tantive IV alongside his iconic droid partner, R2-D2.

Today we need not worry about the Imperials “shutting down the main reactor.” Instead, ICCC is firing it up because Anthony Daniels — the legendary actor that brough C-3PO to life for millions of fans over several generations — will be appearing at ICCC 2022 to meet fans, sign autographs and tell the tales around his involvement in making the Star Wars saga a global phenomenon.

For those in the know, Daniels needs little introduction. It should be noted, though, that he is the only actor to have appeared in all 11 Star Wars feature films. He has also lent his talents to all canon Star Wars animated television shows as well as many of their spin-offs, including video games, radio serials, and more. He recently authored a book “I Am C-3PO: The Inside Story” which details his decades of experiences with the Star Wars saga. If you’d like to learn more about Daniels and his career, his website boasts a wealth of information.

We are humbled and honored to receive Daniels as an ICCC 2022 guest star, joining other legendary Star Wars actors including Ian McDiarmid, Mike Quinn, and more that have yet to be announced. ICCC 2022 will be held April 29-May 1, at the Sheraton Music City resort in Nashville, TN. Tickets are on sale now.
