The actor behind one of the most iconic "Star Wars" figures of all time has admitted that, at least for a while, he wanted his character to die. Anthony Daniels, the man behind the series' neurotic-yet-loveable droid, C-3PO, addressed his wish to end the character’s story during an interview with HuffPost on Wednesday.The 73-year-old, who has now portrayed C-3PO in nine films — including "The Rise of Skywalker," which debuts on Dec. 20 — plus countless mini-series and video games, explained to the outlet why he asked director J.J. Abrams to kill him.Daniels writes in his new book, "I Am C-3PO: The Inside Story," that he previously asked Abrams, who directed both "The Rise of Skywalker" and the series’ seventh film, "The Force Awakens," to write in a way for the iconic droid to die. In the interview, he expanded on that request."Before filming this, it seemed like the writers had slightly run out of steam with C-3PO," Daniels told HuffPost. "I didn’t want him to just become a wall decoration."
