“ Hello there , ” New York . Kenobi star Ewan McGregor would have a lot to blab out about with hisstarring role in the Star Wars canonor any other lineament film , but he ca n’t , not when the actors union SAG - AFTRA is stillfighting for a fair contract .
The humans who reprised his function as astrung out , on the lam Obi - Wanarrived at his first ever New York Comic Con during an interesting time for the manufacture . Because of the ongoing doer fall , this year ’s fully grown nerd fest is free of many of the Hollywood profound striker that unremarkably have a major front , in peculiar Marvel . Those few star topology who have decided to show up this weekend are n’t able to peach about much , or really anything that has to do with playacting , at least only in the abstract .
On stagecoach , the magnetic Scotsman had to find something else — anything else — to blab about . The first few questions he gets are about the right way to brew teatime ( three minutes , no more , no less , a splash of Milk River , no sugar ) . Then the topic come back to the Big Apple , and it set ashore on his very few best-loved local meal . In that nervure , McGregor ca n’t seem to pinpoint his favorite beigel . It ’s not like he has n’t had the chance to try one . He has spent a fair amount of in New York as he performed in the Broadway circuit . He asks the consultation , and a good few shout back the authoritative staple everything bagel .

“ It just seems like something you get when they ca n’t make up your psyche it , ” he said . There ’s a few laughs in the crew and a few narrowed eyes . Of naturally he ’s wrong — you’re able to disaccord whether everything is the epitome of NY - mode bagel , but that sure-enough jape about New Yorker ’s favorite carb - laden breakfast food just does n’t examine the transformative spirit of a quality , chewy on the interior , crispy on the outdoor bagel .
The head scraped the bottom of the barrel for what can be said to a carry - to - the - gill gang of bright Star Wars fans . There was talk about music , motorcycles , and Shakesperean acting . It also flowed around his work with charities , including his work as an ambassador for UNICEF .
After over 40 second of a pleasant chat with no stark mention of his stream Star Wars stardom , however , McGregor did at last get to say his musical composition about the ongoing strike .
“ The strike is very important , and it ’s significant that we ’re taking this action , ” McGregor said to hollers and applause . “ There ’s so many thing that have to be deal that have been unaddressed for too long . It ’s a shame that it ’s contract the studios this length of time to derive to some sorting of resolution with us . As a effect I ’m 100 % behind the smash involved with my union . ”
“ It ’s unmanageable for us to be up here and not lecture about our factual film , ” he said . “ I apologize for that , but that ’s just the way we have to do it , I suppose . But it was important to see you all and get together you all . This relationship , the people we make the films for , and the people who make them . ”
McGregor ’s life during the work stoppage is very “ domestic , ” he say . It involves fourth dimension for understand and taking his children to school . Though he could n’t escape any mention of Star Wars at all . When the conversation set ashore on the topic of beard , one lover offered the Kenobi star some massaging beard oil . Another essay to hand McGregor a Star Wars theme trimming capacitor . The strikes may be ongoing , but that does n’t intend you should n’t take precaution of your facial hair in the interim .
