Ewan McGregor has revealed that he is still waiting to be contacted about appearing in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
43-year-old McGregor played the young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy to the original Star Wars between 1999 and 2005 and he says: ''I'm still waiting for the call! Seriously . . . But literally, I have had nothing. Nothing.
''And I don't even know how it could work, because I don't know what those stories are. 'I never discussed them with George [Lucas] when we made ours, so I have no idea what the three storylines are.''
Speaking to MTV News, McGregor continued to talk himself out of a job by saying: ''I suppose, after my last one, after Episode III, I become Alec Guinness, and then Alec Guinness is cut down by Lord Vader, and goes into [The Force].
''But then, if he came back from there wouldn't he be Alec Guinness? Why would he suddenly be me? I'm talking myself out of a job here, which is a silly idea.''
