In keeping with Baker, nobody bought together with Daniels, and he was completely satisfied that Daniels didn’t like him one bit. In 2015, Baker sounded off about his co-star, saying: “Anthony doesn’t combine in any respect — he retains himself to himself. He by no means desires to have a drink with any of us. As soon as once I stated hi there to him, he simply turned his again on me and stated, ‘Can’t you see I’m having a dialog?’ I used to be blazing with rage.”
Daniels, in flip, responded by telling The Mirror: “I by no means noticed him. I imply, R2-D2 would not even communicate. He may as effectively be a bucket.”

At one level, Baker wished to tour with Daniels to make some cash, however the actor apparently brushed him off within the rudest method. “If he simply calmed down and socialized with everybody, we may make a fortune touring round making private appearances. I’ve requested him 4 occasions now, however the final time, he regarded down his nostril at me like I used to be a bit of sh*t. He stated: ‘I do not do many of those conventions – go away little man.’ He actually degraded me and made me really feel small – for need of a greater expression.”
Years later, Daniels would refer to all Baker’s pictures as hurtful. “Kenny determined that he wished to say unkind, disagreeable, impolite, hurtful issues. It bought worse and worse. And reasonably like Mr. Trump, if you happen to say it typically sufficient, individuals consider you.” He did, nonetheless, reiterate how he struggled to work with Baker. “The very fact is we didn’t actually seem or work together collectively. He was in a field he couldn’t do something with. He couldn’t hear me. He by no means made a sound. I needed to work, frankly, very onerous to consider that this object (he faucets the glass of water on the desk) was my finest pal.”
Who’d have thought there’d be a lot drama between the 2 droids? Then once more, that’s basic dad and mom for you.
