Ewan McGregor has indeed entrusted to Entertainment Weekly have a habit of using the characteristic gesture of the Jedis when they use the Force to pretend to open the doors of supermarkets! By mimicking the hand movement, he explains:
I like to do it with automatic doors, just for my own amusement. I always do a little Jedi move for doors and have been caught doing it sometimes. You know, I do it at the supermarket for example when I go out with my shopping cart.
“It’s always just for me, because it makes me laugh, but I happened to be caught doing it, and it’s quite embarrassing“, he continues, laughing. And to add:It’s hard not to, isn’t it? It’s funny. If the timing is right, you feel very powerful.”
