The 39-year-old told reporters at a charity screening for the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back that he still has deep feelings for the character.
"I've spent a great many years being deeply, deeply in love with Princess Leia," he joked.
He added: "There's still a part of my heart that is quite deeply in love with her, both as a character and an actress!"
Carrie Fisher played Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy. McGregor portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi in George Lucas's Star Wars prequels.
The Ghost Writer star also revealed that his children aren't fans of Star Wars.
"My kids aren't remotely interested in these films, it's so funny and quite disappointing but they're just not that interested," he continued.
"I've tried a bit but I'm not going to push them to watch anything."
