Ewan McGregor is pissed off that fans have been coming up to him on the street and criticizing his performance as Obi-Wan Kenobe in the most recent Star Wars films. According to McGregor:
"Why do they feel the need to tell me, 'That film was shit.' It happens quite a lot. I was with my mum and my daughter when this guy walks over to say, 'You're not as good as Alec Guinness (who played Obi-Wan in the 1970s Star Wars movies).' I felt really pissed off."
I love uppity Star Wars fans, or as society calls them: virgins. They take that movie so damn seriously. Now before you guys start firing off your emails, I never said Star Wars wasn't a good movie, I'm just saying I wouldn't put it on the same level as A League of Their Own. A sports movie with both Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell? A travesty that thing didn't win an Oscar.
No complaints about the million dollar paydays and loads of free shit he gets as a celebrity. The occasional asshole is a small price to pay.
There's always an immature film critic out there who hasn't figured out Star Wars is simply six films of marketing and promotion geared toward 10 year old boys. Ewan McGregor's acting resume rises far beyond the confines of an insipid trio of movies about a galaxy far far away... Rude is rude in any book, especially by the public intruding on the actor's family which McGregor protects.
There can be "Only One and One Only"...
