Ewan McGregor poses with Still Game cast as Scots stars meet at Edinburgh's Comic Con

Scots actor Ewan McGregor was pictured with Still Game cast at Comic Con in Edinburgh over the weekend as the fellow Scottish stars posed for photos.

Sanjeev Kohil - who played shopkeeper Naveed in the Scottish sitcom - shared the snap on Twitter with the caption "Obi-Wan Kenobi finally meets Boabby-Wan Kenobi".

He's joined in the snap by Jane McCarry, best known as Craiglang's local gossip Isa Drennan, Gavin Michelle, who played Boaby the barman and Paul Riley, who played Winston Ingram.

Scottish fans were delighted by the meet up with one calling it the "crossover everyone has been waiting for".

Ewan - best known for his roles in Trainspotting and Star Wars Prequel trilogy - thanked the crowd at the Royal Highland Centre for a "great few days."

Behind and in front of the stage were dozens of Star Wars characters dressed up for the occasion. "It meant the world to me, it's great to be back," said McGregor when asked what it felt like to be back in his home country.

"I got a couple of days off to visit my mum and dad back home in Crieff then I came here to Edinburgh and have been so happy to be here with you all. It has just been a great couple of days, I can't speak as I've been speaking to people all day," he added.

Joining McGregor at this year's event were Star Wars legends Anthony Daniels, Jimmy Vee, Angus MacInnes and Denis Lawson. Other awesome guests include The Vampire Diaries and The Originals stars Candice King, Daniel Gillies, Michael Malarkey, Kayla Ewell, and David Anders, reports Edinburgh Live.

They were joined by Fantastic Beasts star Dan Fogler, Hollywood legends Alicia Silverstone, and Billy Zane, The Walking Dead star Ross Marquand, Buffy the Vampire star James Marsters, and Scream actor Roger L. Jackson.

The Hobbit's Graham McTavish is joined by Lord of the Rings star John Rhys Davies, The NeverEnding Story stars Noah Hathaway and Tami Stronach, plus so many more.

Also in town for Comic Con was Matilda and Mrs Doubtfire actress Mara Wilson.
