It’s been well documented how Ewan McGregor disliked the first 2 Star Wars prequels. Even though he’s loved being involved in the films, he has always (even before the films were released) been critical of the projects.
So imagine my surprise when McGregor comes out and says something like this.
The following is courtesy of the good folks at Digital Spy:
He explained to Total Film magazine: “The fighting in ‘Episode II’ was unsatisfactory, I think. I don’t think the fight was nearly as good as it should have been and I certainly didn’t have as big a crack of the whip as the first one.”
On the bright side, McGregor insists that Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith will not disappoint. He added: “I’m making up for it in number three. We fight our a***s off in that one.”
It’s not just the fighting either. McGregor has been quoted elswhere saying that he believes Revenge of the Sith will leave everyone very satisfied. Nuts, my expectations just got a little bit higher now.
