Ewan McGregor


Star Wars seemed like a strange choice for someone who has made a career of quirky independent films, but as a child Ewan got caught up in the myth like all the other kids, even owning Star Wars sheets. Perhaps seeing his uncle in the film gave it a special meaning as well. There is no question that he has entered a new phase in his career now and will be dealing with fame and Hollywood on a new level. It will be interesting to see what he does with the new opportunities opening up to him.
