They’re just like the rest of us!
And, apparently, so are Jedi Masters.
(Or, at least, those who play them.)

There was a lot of cool stuff that came out ofEntertainment Weekly’s cover story onObi-Wan Kenobi.
However, those were all mere appetizers.
Because during the course of our reporting, we learned another fascinating fact about McGregor.

Something that makes the star even more incredible and relatable than we ever thought possible.
“Have I ever tried to use a Jedi mind trick?”
But, no, I don’t have those skills."
If you have done it yourself, you know exactly what I am talking about.
“I do it with doors!”
noted McGregor of the finger-slash-Force move.
“I like to do that with automatic doors just for my own amusement.”
It gets even better.
“I always do a little Jedi move for the doors and I have occasionally been caught doing it.
“It’s difficult not to, isn’t it?
If the timing is right, it feels very powerful.”
Answer: No.)
“My kids are totally impervious to the whole Jedi mind trick.
They don’t care.
It doesn’t work on them.”
Only doors, apparently.
One of them may just actually be a real Jedi Master.
