Because it's obvious. Everything in TPM and AOTC is leading up to the Clone Wars which will rip the Galaxy apart.
Rick McCallum has said we will see Anakin and Obi-Wan become heros in the Clone Wars.
Lucas has said it will be shown.
Sam Jackson said that the Jedi don't die until the Clone Wars in Ep3.
And one of the designers was talking about a kind of "nuclear winter" that happens because of the Clone Wars in EP3.
Now, as the man himself, RC, reports over at swmovies.net, Ewan's latest comments about the new title are considerably less critical.
Ewan is not, of course, the sort of man who would let pressure make him change his mind. So perhaps he has had time to think or, like it seems to be for most people (but NOT Zereil or Edna, it seems), time makes the whole deal look much better.
Now, aside from calling Star Wars work 'dull' (JUST as Denis Lawson warned him), it seems that Ewan has little bad to say about Star Wars right now, although Moulin Rouge is more his sort of acting experience.
Thanks Ush.
Hehehe, I is DA Man!!!
Yeah, Ewan seems to have chilled a bit, but is still not Lovin it, lovin' it, lovin' it...
Here's the story.

What the HECK is this accusation of un-professioanlism? That is NONSENSE! Professionalism is gdoing the job you are paid to do well (whether you enjoy it or not). This Ewan does admirably.. It is NOT havign to shut up about things so you don't upset people; that is his non-professional life, not his professional one.
