I don't think it's weird for Ewan to have shown such interest at all (is that Malcolm McDowell as Luke Skywalker in that picture by the way?). Ford, Hammill and Daniels have made less-than respectiful remarks about the films in the past, doesn't mean they hate the movies or Lucas. Good lord, people read such a lot into so little, just to support their existing negative outlook.

I agree, but sometimes they do this not to support a purported negative outlook, rather they take offense to things never said and get angry because they don't like people expressing opinions different than theirs.
