C-3PO is one of many roles Anthony Daniels has played in Pittsburgh

Post Gazette: "The British actor who played the worry-prone golden droid in all six movies has served as an adjunct professor at Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center on Second Avenue since 2004. In this role, he's been an adviser and personal consultant to students in the two-year graduate program that focuses on the gaming and entertainment industries."

having just seen the concert last night...I can say that it is an amazing experience. Daniels did a great job narrating the story of Star Wars...As for the connection to CMU, it is great to see that he is intrigued about the work that is happening here at the ETC. Even though most of of don't do much with the ETC, it would be great to have the opportunity to hear him speak sometime when he is here.

Given the various reactions to the newer Star Wars movies, it's nice to see that there are people who still like Star Wars enough to pull something like this together. On top of that, it's awesome that they picked an actor to narrate the performance that's role was one of the most iconic characters of the entire Star Wars franchise. I did not know that he was working with ETC, or was a game tester for that matter. Odd combination of career skills, but it seems like he's found an interesting set of careers for himself.
