Ewan McGregor explains in detail why he almost passed on playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequels. After the original Star Wars trilogy was a resounding success in the late 1970s and early '80s, it would be nearly 20 years before George Lucas returned to the franchise with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The film takes place before the events of A New Hope and tell the story of two Jedi who discover a young boy who may be able to bring balance to the Force.
“I really had to think about it. Because it came quite shortly after that ‘Trainspotting’ period, and by that time I was so full of myself. I was like, ‘I am Danny Boyle’s actor. I am f---ing urban grunge. I am the Oasis of the British movie industry,’ and then when ‘Star Wars’ came along, I felt, ‘I don’t know if I want to do this. This isn’t me.’ I suppose I was worried about type-casting or something like that. It’s just going to be so big, I think. I was so into being this sort of antihero.

What to Do If You Think Your Boss Is Shutting You OutIt can be extremely difficult to deal with a boss who is shutting you out. They may exclude you from crucial meetings, stop answering or deflect your questions, disparage your input, and ignore your needs for resources or other support. Here are four approaches you can use to attempt rapprochement, maintain satisfaction with your job (if not with your boss), and keep your career moving forward. First, verify your assumptions. Make sure the your boss is treating you differently from the way they treat everyone. Try to repair the relationship. If you can tell that your relationship is not as trusting or cordial as it had been, look for a way to get back in their good graces. It can be important to show your boss that you value them and their leadership, and that you want to set things right. If the relationship can’t be repaired, then don’t spend all your energy focusing on that relationship. Instead, concentrate on what you contribute to the organization. Be creative and look for opportunities to build new alliances with other colleagues to accomplish more than you could on your own without your boss’s support. Try to find other opportunities to build indirect support around your organization.
