Kumail Nanjiani Took A Real Beating From Reva’s Force Powers In Obi-Wan Kenobi
By JENNA BUSCH
In the Disney+ special "Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return," Kumail Nanjiani, who played Haja Estree in the series "Obi-Wan Kenobi," shared a notable experience from his time on set.
In one scene, Estree — a con man who tricks others into believing he's a Jedi — finds himself in a difficult situation when he encounters Reva Sevander, portrayed by Moses Ingram.
Reva, who possesses genuine Force powers from her Jedi training, forcefully pushes Haja against a wall. This encounter proved to be more strenuous than Nanjiani had anticipated.
"I got Force-pushed into a wall much harder than I thought I was going to. I'm very padded up and it was awesome, but also, I forget what day it is." Nanjiani recounted.
