Not exactly, Sir Alec grew to hate the films because of the constant undeserved (in his opinion) adulation he got over what he saw as just fantasy films. McGregor clearly hates the prequels just because they are bad films, which they are. And he probably didn't have a lot of fun shooting them either, seeing as it was all CGI apart from about 4 characters.



I agree, the OT actors started hating SW, especially Ford & Guiness, because it was so popular, their careers were being overshadowed by being known as Han & ObiWan. The PT actors hate the movies, cause it did absolutely zero to further their careers and actually hampered them as Portman & Christenson won Razzies as WORST actors in a movie. Ford, Fisher, and Hammil have come around in the last few years I think because the PT has gotten so much shit and is laughable except by the TFN crowd, they want everyone to know, "Hey we were part of the first 3 movies that everyone loved, not those shitty ones that just came out!"

Remember what Ford said to Lucas at the AFI achievement awards, "I was a part of the FUNNY Trilogy, George!"
