Star Wars Actor Oscar Isaac Reveals Obi Wan Letter

Via Bbc.com:
Sir Alec Guinness branded co-star Harrison Ford a “languid young man” in a letter read by Star Wars actor Oscar Isaac at a performance in London.
Writing during filming of the 1977 film Star Wars: A New Hope, Sir Alec said: “Can’t say I’m enjoying the film.”
The letter from the late actor, who played Obi Wan Kenobi, talks about the film’s “rubbish dialogue”.
Isaac, who plays Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, was at Letters Live at Freemasons’ Hall in London.
Sir Alec wrote to his friend Anne Kauffman: “New rubbish dialogue reaches me every other day on wadges of pink paper, and none of it makes my character clear or even bearable.”
He said he was working with “Mark Hamill and Tennyson (that can’t be right) Ford. Ellison? No! Well a rangy, languid man who is probably intelligent and amusing.”
Letters Live sees actors and performers reading out literary correspondence to a live audience, aiming to celebrate its enduring power throughout history.
Each show benefits a range of literary charities.
