According to Kenny Baker in the Examiner, Baker himself described Anthony Daniels as standoffish. Baker and Daniels have been feuding for three decades. Daniels, now 59, was never friendly to the other actors in the film, either. "Anthony doesn't mix at all," says Baker. "He keeps to himself." (SOURCE: The Examiner, May 30, 2005.)
