[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55217, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/tv/obi-wan-kenobi']Obi-Wan Kenobi[/URL] star Ewan McGregor thinks opinions of the Star Wars prequels have shifted, and admitted that the original reception to the movies was hard for him to take at the time. During an interview with [URL='https://ew.com/tv/obi-wan-kenobi-ewan-mcgregor-hayden-christensen-cover-story/']Entertainment Weekly[/URL], the 50-year-old Star Wars actor explained that he sees a new “Wave of positivity” when it comes to the prequel trilogy. “Now I meet the people who we made those films for, who were the kids of the time, he said. “And our Star Wars films are their Star Wars films. In the way that Carrie Fisher and Alec Guinness and Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford's films were ours, we're theirs. And that's beautiful that they were important to the kids who we made them for.

And also, it was quite early in my career. I didn't really know how to deal with that. I'd been involved with things that just didn't make much of a ripple, but that's different from making something that makes a negative ripple.” Equally, the young Darth Vader actor Hayden Christensen felt the force of critical reaction. “When the films came out and the critics were very critical, of course, that was a difficult thing,” said Christensen. “Because you care so much about this thing that you've invested so much of yourself into. So, for sure, that's challenging.” Now, the pair get to revisit their roles in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series for Disney+.
