Their battle began a long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, but it seems there is little chance of the feud between Star Wars duo R2-D2 and C-3PO ending any time soon.
The actor who plays the taller, shinier of the two robots has revealed he and his co-star have not seen eye to eye — both figuratively and literally — for the entire 39-year duration of the film franchise.
In fact, R2-D2 star Kenny Baker, 83, once branded C-3PO, or Anthony Daniels as he’s otherwise known, ‘the rudest man I’ve ever met’.
Mr Daniels, 69, had previously remained tight-lipped about the pair’s fall-out but couldn’t resist the opportunity to stick the boot in ahead of the latest Star Wars film’s release.
When Episode VII: The Force Awakens released, the duo were the only actors to have appeared in all seven Star Wars films.
