Adam Driver talks about his experience on the set of Star Wars.
In a recent interview on the podcast “SmartLess,” the “Marriage Story” actor talked about the new Star Wars movie, revealing, “They're doing a lot of things, but they're not working with me.” . He told hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett that he would “no longer do” those films.
One of the reasons he doesn't want to play Kylo Ren in any more Star Wars movies is because Kylo Ren died at the end of the final film in the reboot trilogy, The Rise of Skywalker.
“'Star Wars' was much more exhausting for me. … I made it more exhausting than it needed to be,” Driver said. “I never really understood the momentum of a set this big before. Everything I've worked on has been really small and moved pretty quickly.”

Adam Driver shares powerful message in comments about his acting choices: “Who gets to judge?”
“The director sets the pace of the set. I don't like controlling it. I have to adjust,” he continued. “Spike Lee and [Steven] Soderbergh's shot is really fast. It's not comfortable for me, but this is their movie, their movie, so I'll adjust. ”
The new series will take place after The Rise of Skywalker, and will see the return of Daisy Ridley's character Rey. The film centers on Rey rebuilding the Jedi Order and will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and written by Steven Knight.
After starring in the series, Driver played the role of Maurizio Gucci, the head of a fashion house, in “House of Gucci,'' and most recently starred as Enzo Ferrari, the founder of luxury car brand Ferrari, in “Ferrari.'' . ”
“So many people are like, 'How many Italians are there…?' I'm like, 'Somehow it worked out that way,'” Driver said on the podcast. “But I'm like, look, that's Ridley.” [Scott] And it's Michael [Mann] In my opinion, they are some of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Who would judge the fact that it was two Italians back to back? ”

What do you think about ” [the] A collision scene? I have to say they are quite harsh and drastic and cheesy to me,” asked an audience member.
