| Anthony Daniels and his little friend during our interview yesterday at Hotel ZaZa |
Anthony Daniels was in Dallas yesterday to promote the
Star Wars: In Concert megavent scheduled for October 23 at Cowboys Stadium, where two hours' worth of
Star Wars clips will get a screening on Jerry Jones's high-def wall of voodoo. Patrick Michels recorded my lengthy chitchat with C-3PO's alter ego at Hotel ZaZa, which we'll run closer to the show (Daniels will narrate in person, accompanied by an 85-piece orchestra). But I will share this anecdote: Toward the end of our talk Tuesday morning, I casually mentioned that some folks 'round these parts refer to Cowboys Stadium as "
the Death Star."
"They
do?" he asked. Daniels seemed rather amused by this. "Of course, I've been in the Death Star many times before. I'm sure I'll escape alive like I did the last time." The man's adorable.
