Luke Skywalker star Mark Hamill has come forward to defend George Lucas' much-criticized Star Wars prequel films, as well as young Anakin Skywalker actor Jake Lloyd.
"I couldn't believe some of the things they wrote about the prequels," Hamill said in an interview with Vulture, adding that he's "still angry about the way they treated Jake Lloyd" for his performance in Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace.
"He was only ten years old," Hamill continued, noting that Lloyd "did exactly what George [Lucas] wanted him to do." He also acknowledged the film had "clunky dialogue" and that while he "has issues with George [Lucas]" he still "loves that man."
The actor went on to call the negative response to the prequel films "just brutal" and "one of the reasons [he] would never let [his] kids be in showbusiness."
Hamill will reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a title he thinks has a "samurai" vibe to it.
