Ewan hates the new title

I meant that you can be more professionalism about a movie you finished and is now in the past.
Be mature, the title isn't going to change when mister McGreggor is going to complain

Being proffesional for an actor means helping the film as much as you can. Slamming it to get on in Hollywood isn't being proffesional.

I was reading an old SW magazine the other day and there was an interview with Ewan whilst on the TPM set and he was saying things like "I really like George. I love working with him because he just lets you get on with it".

Lucas and SW hasn't changed. Ewan has. He's turned into a snob and the quicker he gets back to normal, the better.

A few weeks ago their was an interview with him I saw on T'Bone and he was slamming people for being too critical and cynical. He was saying that a lot of people just slate everything for the sake of it. Now he is doing it.

That is NOT professionalism, KJ. Not for an actor. The same way a writer does not have to care about his work to be professional; the point is whether he does work work whether he cares about it or not;' THAT is prfoessional.

Ewan didn;t slam it to get on Hollywood, that's nonsense. He just speanks his mind regardless, whether to his mother or an interviewer. He is just loud mouthed full stop, not for the sake of publicity.

I see these arguments haven't changed. 😂

But.... it IS on topic. 😄

Ush it IS proffesionalism. I fail to see how you can argue any differently. Slating a film and telling people not to bother going to see it is crass. AND un-proffesional.

If you don't care for you're work then don't talk about it. If Ewan really hated working on Star Wars then he should just be polite and not talk about it. That's what most people would do. But he has started to bring it down and it's only for one reason.

His personal opinion on his work has absolutely nothing to do woith his professionalism. He can slate it all he likes. Professionalism is just how well he does his job- which he does bloody great.

I think that Ewan is a great actor. But his behavior towards SW disappoints me greatly. It definitely makes me think less of him as a person. But then I don't have to like him as a person. I wish he wouldn't, as some have said, "bite the hand that feeds him", but if he wants to make an idiot of himself that's his business.

I don't agree with you Ush. Part of his job is standing by his films and promotion..that's why actors are always on these press junkets right. He know' that's part of his job.

I know what you mean Lauren..

Thank you, ladies! 🙂

When an actor walks of a film set his work isn't done. He still has a job to promote the film.

Yes, but you know that all they are ALLOWED to say usually is how wonderful the film is and how great it was to work with all the crew, as if everything is always fine and dandy. That is of course nonsense. Anyone who has ever worked on any audio-visual medium knows how frustrating things can be.
It looks like Ewan has decided to speak his mind, GL doesn't seem to mind, so what's the problem. I kinda like this rebel-like approach: do a good job and speak your mind. Go Ewan! 😄

Rebel? 😂 😂
Who exactly is he rebeling against? Lucas? He is the biggest rebel of them all. Look at how many people he's upset by using digital cameras.
If Ewan was attacking a studio then fine. But he's attacking his friends and colleagues. That's not rebelion.

And another thing, he ISN'T speaking his mind because he changes his opinion depending on who he is talking to. Look at the "making of videos". He says good things about the film but then tells Hollywood journalists not to go and see it. It's two- faced. Even last week he was going on about how AOTC looks "really cool" and he was defending TPM saying how much he enjoyed it.

Where there is money, there is Ewan

So what? Ewan's cool with me.

And I didn't say rebel, I said rebel-LIKE. Like doing the unestablished thing which is saying everything was sooooooooooooo wonderful.

He's cool with me as well. I just wish he'd stop being two faced when it comes to Star Wars.

And being professional?

Maybe Ewan's decided the one thing that harmed TPM critically was the high expectation. By going around telling people AOTC is not worth seeing he's lowering that expectation and ensuring when people see it they're totally blown away. 😂

Personally, I don't see this as that different to Alec Guiness saying in interviews that he had absolutely no idea what was going on during the filming of ANH, that he thought it was all nonsense that he was suprised that the film was as successful as it was! 😮

It's different because Alec Giuness didn't say those things before the film had been released. If you read interviews from the time then he had nothing but good things to say about ANH.

It was only much later when he got far too much attention from fans that he grew to hate the films.

And he didn't complain while making ESB and ROTJ either but you can be sure that he already regretted making the films by then. He just got on with it quitley. Like a proffesional.

If Ewan is trying to lower expectations then he better try harder. 🤣

Alec didn't shoved down the movie, he was surprised.

And Sir Guinness was a gentleman, Ewan's not. 😉

And I would say more; Alec is a sir!
