the price of fame

Though they've long since passed into pop-culture immortality for their roles as C3-PO and R2-D2, but I can't help but wonder, particularly during the first halves of episodes IV and VI...

...how miserably hot, stuffy, itchy, constrictive, sweaty, and downright uncomfortable must it have been for Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker in those droid costumes? I get cranky when I can't take off my hoodie in a hot car, being trapped in a close an airless metal shell for ten hours a day for years must have been brutal. Well done on them for not going crazy.
