Don't act like you guys don't like the holiday special. I know some of you guys do, I felt it in the Force.

That's ok. He gave us (arguably) one of the greatest characters in the entire Saga.

Not to mention other actors who don't exactly "embrace" the fans; i.e. Natalie Portman, David Prowse, Carrie Fisher, Denis Lawson, Hayden Christensen, Kiera Knightley, Anthony Daniels, etc

Natalie Portman claimed that the prequels had a negative effect on her career, Keira Knightley had a bit part (I didn't even know she was in the fucking film until you just mentioned it), and prequels derailed Christensen's acting career. It's understandable why these people might not be crazy about anything to do w/ Star Wars. In Knightley's case, she seems to fancy herself a thespian, hence class side ring herself too good for Star Wars. I mean, Patrick Stewart was a Shakespearean actor, but he totally embraced his role as captain.

Being a part of Star Wars and negotiating 2.25% of the director's gross made him wealthy later on, and afforded him the luxury to live a debt-free life while being selective about the roles he's offered. I really have trouble looking up to actors who treat a portion of their fanbase like untouchable plebs. Seriously, fuck them.

He shouldn't have leaked stuff about the saga, particularly the twist in Empire Strikes Back which I'm not sure of how he knew since allegedly only Lucas, Hamill and Jones knew (with the two actors knowing moments before):

His being unable to keep quiet and revealing too much to newspapers and magazines is exactly what strained his and Lucas's relationship. Well, that and the misunderstanding that his voice would also be Vader's.

I thought that the twist from Ep. V was kept a secret. Only Mark Hamill and James Earl Jones knew about it. David Prowse was given the line, "Obi-Wan killed your father." Hamill was told to react to the line as if he had said, "I am your father."

Such resemblance...
