Had no idea C3P0 and R2D2 hated each other in real life.

Anthony Daniels may be the most hated person in Hollywood. Everyone who has worked with him despises him. He thinks of himself as the next Peter O'Toole, when the only thing they have in common is the tool part. Almost all of his roles have been C3PO due to the fact no one can tolerate working with him.
I went to Dallas Comic Con a few months back, and while Peter Mayhew's line was out the arse, there wasn't a single person in line to get Anthony Daniels' autograph. I had to laugh. If I had to guess George Lucas' single biggest regret in his life, it would be giving Anthony Daniels a career.

Baker also played Fidgit in Time Bandits.
83 is a good run. Regardless, RIP little man.
