He liked the film and was constantly in defence of Lucas during its production. When it was released he said that he loved it and was very supportive of it, even agreeing to appear in the two sequels. However, it soon began to be blown out of preportion and rabid star wars fans get pestering him and being unable to see that he wasn't really a jedi master, just an actor playing one. Thus, he began to state how much fans annoyed him and what a burden the whole silly space movie was. Its a shame really because deep down he really did love the series but he became bitter from all the celebrity status placed on it.
