Not for the reason you imply. He disliked that his newfound popularity was due mainly to this sci-fi cult film, rather than his earlier, and rather spectacular, body of work.

Yeah, I'm sure that today, most people remember him for his work on Star Wars, and it could get rather frustrating to be typecast as Obi-Wan Kenobi for the rest of your life.

Yeah, but I don't think Alec Guiness would have ever had that problem. He made alot of great films in the US and the UK before Star Wars. It'd be like saying Liam Neeson will always be typcast as Qui Gonn or Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan.
