Episodes I-III may be derided as poor films by Star Wars and movie fans alike, but Luke Skywalker himself thinks differently.
In a new interview, Hamill highlighted how George Lucas was more original and enjoyed his use of CGI.
Speaking with Metro, the actors said: “What I thought was great about the prequels was the different technology that I had never seen before. All that CGI.
“And the fact that [George Lucas] wasn’t trying to do the same experience all over again.”
He said: “JJ is a sadist. If he had confided in me that the whole movie is them searching for me then that would have been fine.
“Instead he said, ‘I’m sending the script over. Read it from page one and imagine it just like a movie.’
“I’ll tell you this: when I got the script for Episode VIII, I turned to the last page and started reading it backwards!”
Star Wars The Last Jedi is out now.
