Ewan McGregor has blasted “Star Wars” fans who sell signed memorabilia of the film series. The 43-year-old Scottish actor never had any positive experience with fans, whom he called “parasitical lowlifes.”

McGregor played the younger Obi-Wan Kenobi in the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy from 1999 to 2005, namely “The Phantom Menace,” “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith.” Being cast in the multi-billion dollar franchise has made him a favourite target of people looking for autographs.

In an interview with Details, he hardly hid his disdain for some “Star Wars” fans. Asked if he had any positive experiences with the notoriously passionate fans of the film series, McGregor instead related his negative experiences.

“I don’t have any experience with them. I’ve never been to one of the conventions. The people I meet are the f------ who want me to sign Star Wars photos so they can sell them on the Internet or the people at premieres who are crushing children against barriers to get me to sign their f------ picture of Obi-Wan Kenobi,” he unleashed such strong words.

“They’re not fans – they’re parasitical lowlifes and f------ wankers.”

When he was informed that the “Phantom Menace” has been rated the worst of the film franchise in almost every online rankings, McGregor didn’t defend the movie.

“I watched it once, at the premiere, so I’m not in a good position to judge,” he said. “They had a tall order, the three films I did. The fans waited so long and wanted to feel like they did when they watched the first film, but they were grown-ups by that time. I don’t mind the criticism. I’ve heard it to my face.”

Apart from Obi-Wan Kenobi, his most famous role is perhaps as the addict Mark Renton in the 1996 critically and commercially successful “Trainspotting,” which would possibly have a sequel after two decades.

“It looks like it might happen,” McGregor said of the possible follow-up to the film. “The idea is that we shoot it in 2016, which would be 20 years after the original came out. And I’d be up for it. I wouldn’t have been 10 years ago, but I am now.”

Ten years ago, he was still angry at the film’s director, Danny Boyle, over the filmmaker’s casting of Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Beach” when he was cast first.

“It was an unfortunate situation, and it wasn’t handled well. I was very upset. But time has gone by, and we put to bed the bad feelings and all of that s---.”

McGregor is currently starring in his New York stage debut in “The Real Thing.” He stars alongside Cynthia Nixon, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Josh Hamilton.
