Anthony Daniels isn’t worried about BB-8. Despite all the attention the new droid is getting from the Star Wars family, Daniels is still the irreplacable C-3PO.

The actor, who reprises his gold-plated, neurotic droid in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, stood by his character’s statue at a new exhibit in New York City and reminisced on his journey through a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars and the Power of Costume: The Exhibition showcases props and costumes from the original trilogy, the prequels and The Force Awakens.

For someone like Daniels, who’s been a mainstay of the franchise since the original Star Wars in 1977, the experience was like a walk down memory lane. EW spoke with the actor at the exhibit about his longtime experience with Star Wars, the impact of artist Ralph McQuarrie’s early designs, returning for The Force Awakens, and how he’s getting along with BB-8.
