After a week of teasting we can exclusively reveal that the narrator will be none other than friend of Jedi News and the only person to have appeared in all six live action Star Wars films as well as the Clone Wars film and series... drum roll please... Mr Antony Daniels; this is what Antony had to say...
“I’m so excited to be asked to tell the story to such a huge audience. Years ago C-3PO conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in the Albert Hall. Most exciting night of his life… mine too. Now it’s my turn to stand on Europe’s greatest new stage at the O2 Arena. I’m not wearing gold this time, but 3PO will be with me in spirit.”
