Kudos to Hamill on defending the prequels, and Lucas which get way too much hate from internet fanboys. And even if you don't like the prequels, you can't defend the horrible treatment Jake Lloyd has gotten.
EDIT:
Here's the video of Hamill:

Mark Hamill has defended the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
The star, who plays Luke Skywalker in the original films and the current trilogy, said the public overreacted over the films.
”I couldn't believe some of the things they [Star Wars fans] wrote about the prequels, you know. I mean really beyond, ‘I didn't like it', ‘you ruined my childhood...'," Hamill said.
He continued: ”I'm still angry about the way they treated Jake Lloyd. He was only 10 years old, that boy, and he did exactly what George [Lucas] wanted him to do. Believe me, I understand clunky dialogue."
Lloyd, who played Anakin Skywalker as a boy in The Phantom Menace, said in a 2012 interview that it made his childhood a ”living hell".
Meanwhile, Hamill also revealed that he turned down the chance to take part in the anti-George Lucas documentary The People vs George Lucas.
He told Vulture: ”They weren't calling it [that] at the time. But I could tell from the questions they were asking me that it was an open invitation to trash George. And I have issues with George, but I love that man. I would never talk outside the family."
