1. Ewan McGregor talks with reporter
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Ewan McGregor, actor:
"It was before social media. There wasn't the same sort of relation. There wasn't the same sort of avenue to hear the audience's response to them, you know. And so what you did hear then was the critics' response to them, which wasn't very kind. I think George Lucas had always decided he wanted to tell those stories in a different way, using his visual effects company and digital cameras. And he wanted - he wanted to tell it. He didn't want to just remake the three films that he made in the seventies. And so he pushed into a different area and people didn't like it - you know, the critics didn't like it anyway. So we were left with that sort of feeling that they weren't much liked at the time. And it was difficult for us because we threw our heart and souls into them. And then now over the last -- certainly the last five or six years or maybe even more, I started to realize that the generation of people who we made them for, who were kids when they came out, really like them. And, you know, our Star Wars films are their Star Wars films and they sort of have ownership over them. And it's nice. It feels good. It feels - it feels really nice."
