Scottish actor Ewan McGregor has some advice for obsessive Star Wars fans: Get a life.
The actor, who plays the young Obi-Wan Kenobi, is baffled by some of the fans of the sci-fi saga and their utter devotion to the fictional world. He has refrained from actually criticising the films, only saying that he found working on the 3 movies "uninspiring." He rightly points out that they are not actor’s films, but works that focus on special effects.
But of the Star Wars fans, McGregor finds them odd: "There's this huge following, which is weird. They have big meets and conventions, and I find it all a bit frightening. Once this guy met me at a stage door when I was doing a play in London. The guy yelled, 'Obi-Wan. Do you have any advice for a trainee Jedi?' I just said, 'No, don't be so ridiculous.' It's just so weird, it really is."

Ewan, No one's holding a gun to your head making you do these movies. If you're ashamed of them, just decline. You probably don't complain when you cash your checks.
