The Penguins had a special guest in attendance for their “Star Wars” night Thursday at PPG Paints Arena.
Actor Anthony Daniels, who’s played popular droid character C-3PO since the franchise debuted in 1977, stopped by to see the Penguins face the New York Islanders. Sporting a customized jersey, he greeted fans on the arena’s video board.

Daniels also checked in with arena host Celina Pompeani and seemed to be enjoying his first Penguins game.
