Short Alec Guinness interview about Star Wars

Guinness always had a lukewarm relationship with the franchise. I think his exact words describing his thoughts on it when given the part were 'fairy tale rubbish'. Later apparently when he first saw it he said:

, "It's a pretty staggering film as spectacle and technically brilliant. Exciting, very noisy and warm-hearted. The battle scenes at the end go on for five minutes too long, I feel, and some of the dialogue is excruciating and much of it is lost in noise, but it remains a vivid experience."

I do find it funny that he seemed the most convinced out of the original cast that it was gonna be a huge hit. And to my understanding he never complained about the salary.
