Ewan, why did you even agree to take the role, if all you are going to do is gripe. Just take your salary, act, and shut up.

"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.""
That would get annoying at least. However he's been around long enough to know that these people exist and he put himself at the center of their attention.

Hmm.. did he consider that the fan was possibly making a joke? Or is he just humor impaired?

It's not as if Star Wars is out of the blue. Anyway, that's the chance they take, when accepting a role. Just wait until people start saying "Ewan who?", and see how much griping he does.

I think he is one of those actors who accepts a role in a commercially successful franchise, and spends the rest of his life being ashamed of it. Rather than lying in the bed he has made, he has to whine about it and insult the audience.

Reminds me of the incredible Christopher Lee:
"Someone asked me yesterday if Dracula met Saruman and there was a fight, who would win. ... I mean, really, it was half-witted."

Alec Guiness was also fairly pissy about his Obi-Wan role..

I must admit. Dean Stockwell will forever be "Al" in my eyes.

A grown man who plays "let's pretend" for a living kind of scares me. And McGregor's performance in "Moulin Rouge" absolutely terrified.

In that case, he truly has gone Hollywood.

I knew I'd screw that up.
trainee coffee-frickin' maker.
Not even an actual person, or one of the composite roles. Just, 'Let's put this guy, who doesn't give a crap about us, in. Even though he doesn't give a crap about us, let's put him in!'

Evidently, he's never seen Galaxy Quest.
Why be hateful towards your audience? That makes no sense. . .
