"Star Wars Episode 7" cast Adam Driver has admitted to being overwhelmed by the experience of working with iconic characters that he watched as a kid, as he is rumored to play not a young Darth Vader but the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia.

"You grew up watching something and then suddenly you're in the midst of all those characters with them talking to each other," he said in an interview with Empire Magazine.

"Star Wars Episode 7" cast Adam Driver even had to resist the urge "to make R2-D2 noises and lightsaber whooshes" but thankfully, "nobody actually did."

He will join the rest of the confirmed cast like Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill-who will all reprise their roles as Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker, respectively-Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Max Von Sydow.

If Adam Driver did manage to restrain himself from making all those sound effects, he's more successful than Ewan McGregor whose antics of imitating lightsaber hums and clashes had to be edited during post production, said Yahoo! Contributor Network.

Meanwhile, "Star Wars Episode 7" cast Adam Driver is now rumored to be playing Han Solo and Princess Leia's son, instead of a young Darth Vader.

Jedi News suggested that the main conflict of the story is when the Dark Side successfully seduces "Star Wars Episode 7" cast Adam Driver's character and now, Han Solo and Princess Leia with the help of the gang will attempt to save him.

Filming for "Star Wars Episode 7" has already started filming in Abu Dhabi with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy calling it "an incredible place to commence this journey."

The location prompted rumors that "Star Wars Episode 7" will try to revisit Tattooine again, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Sources tell THR that the J.J. Abrams-led production is seeking to re-create the desert planet Tatooine, which was the home of Anakin and Luke Skywalker as well as the headquarters of Jabba the Hutt," The Hollywood Reporter added.
