But he's back on good form."What is funny is C-3PO looks the same -- Harrison, Carrie and Mark... not so much... Poor Mark. He was a young lovely looking lad when he was first Luke Skywalker and now... well..."

"He's not actually on the set. I haven't seen him for years. His name is on the credits as a sort of... I don't know, a good luck charm, a courtesy. He's a talisman."
