Alec Guinness Charmingly Talks About How Much He Hated Working on STAR WARS in 1976 Letter

Most Star Wars fans already know that Alec Guinness wasn't a big fan of his work on Star Wars: A New Hope. But, a new letter has surfaced that he sent to a friend of his in which he shares his thoughts about the film while he was working on it and how he wasn't really a big fan of the experience. However, he's very eloquent and charming in his wording.

The letter was posted on Reddit and you can read it below:

My dear Anne,

I have returned to London this evening for my stint at the studio for the rest of the week. Can't say I'm enjoying the film — new rubbish dialogue reaches me every other day on wages of pink paper — and none of it makes my character clear or even bearable. I just think, thankfully, of the lovely bread, which will help me keep going until next April even if 'Yahoo' collapses in a week.

I must off to studio and work with a dwarf (very sweet, — and he has to wash in a bidet) and your fellow countrymen Mark Hamill and Tennyson (that can't be right) Ford — Ellison (? — No!*) — well, a rangy, languid young man who is probably intelligent and amusing. But Oh, God, God, they make me feel ninety — and treat me as if I was 106.

Love,
Alec

*Harrison Ford — ever heard of him?

I just thought that was a fun read and that some of you would enjoy it. He sure seems like a very pleasant person. Even though Star Wars wasn't the best experience for him, everyone says that he was fantastic to work with on set.
