The Piers Morgan / Ewan McGregor spat continues to spiral - and now Piers has brought Star Wars into it. Big mistake.
Here's a quick recap of Morgan vs. McGregor...
It all began during the Women's March, a global movement of more than 4 million people standing up for human rights.
Piers, for reasons unbeknownst to anyone except himself, decided to go on a Twitter rampage...
Imagine if there were a load of men-only marches today? The feminists would go crackers.— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1484989596
I'm planning a 'Men's March' to protest at the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists. Who's with me?— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1484995423
No, I think the title 'Women's March' is absurd & as sexist as they claim Trump to be. https://t.co/WzwURejhQl— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1484996300
Amused by all the fulminating outrage at my suggestion of a Men's March, especially from women. Kinda proves my point...— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1485005550
Has 'free blowjobs if you vote Hillary' Madonna turned up yet to explain why Trump's a sleazebag? #womensmarch— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1485012219
Many online took issue with Morgan's trolling.
Things got a little awkward, however, when Susanna Reid waded in...
You know you sit next to a feminist every morning, right? @piersmorgan https://t.co/IAIq4kuCqE— Susanna Reid (@Susanna Reid) 1485016666
Co-presenter of the ITV breakfast programme Good Morning Britain with Morgan, journalist Reid felt the need to point the obvious out.
Next thing you know, Obi-Wan Kenobi was somehow involved.
Actor Ewan Mcgregor, who played the young Jedi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, tweeted this message:
According to Morgan's Daily Mailcolumn, McGregor arrived with "a large Hollywood-style entourage" at the ITV studios in London for an interview, apparently without realising that Morgan would be involved.
McGregor reportedly refused to do the interview unless Morgan was removed, and subsequently left the building, tweeting as he went.
Morgan was quickly ready with a response.
Sorry to hear that @mcgregor_ewan - you should be big enough to allow people different political opinions. You're just an actor after all.— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1485246053
...Along with his aforementioned acerbic column, entitled: “Women's rights hero Ewan McGregor is a child rapist loving hypocrite who hates free speech”, referring to McGregor's support of Roman Polanski.
Then things took a turn for the bizarre...
Just to clarify, the first film of the Star Wars franchise (now called Episode IV: A New Hope)was released in 1977.
McGregor didn't actually even join the franchise until the prequels in 1999... So some people have been quick to mock.
SOMEONE IN 1977: hey piers, you wanna go see star wars with me? PIERS: uhm no???? the actor playing obi wan is goi… https://t.co/yEdBhlPXpn— wean mcgregor (@wean mcgregor) 1485308654
All hail, the omniscient Nostradamus.
The end.
