CRACKED Adam Driver hates watching himself on-screen, but makes an exception for the Star Wars movies. This is because so much of the movie involves C.G.I and greenscreen wizardry that he has no idea what the final product will look like until he watches it. Не also finds it difficult to act in the Star Wars universe as opposed to acting for stage, because when you're standing in a rainy backlot with sticks and ping pong balls, it doesn't exactly scream 'intergalactic drama'.
