Linking to the point earlier this is also part of the Monomyth.

This stage is called ‘Refusal of the Call.’ Luke has ignored Obi Wan’s advice and is trying to stop himself from joining his Hero’s journey.

Often when the call is given, the future hero first refuses to heed it. This may be from a sense of duty or obligation, fear, insecurity, a sense of inadequacy, or any of a range of reasons that work to hold the person in his or her current circumstances.

As for the man himself, well Guiness was a genius. Despite coming to hate the movie and calling it ‘fairlytale rubbish’ Guiness made a fortune off of the movie by demanding that he have two percent of the gross. This might sound small but over the years has totaled 56 milion pounds.
