C3-PO appeared in all nine of the Star Wars saga films + Rogue One, making him the only character to do so. He played a prominent role in the original trilogy, serving as a major supporting character in all three films. In the prequel trilogy, he was also a significant presence, appearing in all three films as a key character in the story. In the sequel trilogy, he had a smaller role but still appeared in all three films, once again providing a familiar presence for fans of the franchise. Overall, C3-PO has become one of the most iconic and beloved characters in the Star Wars universe, and his enduring popularity is a testament to the enduring appeal of the franchise as a whole.

It's also worth noting that in The Force Awakens the voices of Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness were combined and used to tell Ray about her 'first steps'.
