The cast and crew members of Star Wars: The Force Awakens aren't allowed to talk about the much awaited sequel of the Stars Wars series, but Adam Driver says it's the best than any of the prequels is as good as not saying anything about the film.

Adam Driver, whose role as the villainous Kylo Ren is making a name for the actor, has emphatically stated that the Force Awakens is set to outperform the earlier blockbuster prequels in the late '90s and 2000s.

Driver swore by his prophesy of the movie's success during a Vice News video, which details his career with Arts in the Armed Forces, a nonprofit org he co-founded in a bid to offer military personnel with interesting and inspiring shows to watch. After all, Driver used to be a Marine.

Driver was with some soldiers deployed in the Middle East when some officers asked him to share some expose about the film's thrilling plot.

"Man, I can't say anything," Driver said."I wish I could."

When asked if the movie will be "better than the prequels," Driver looked at the camera impishly and joked: "Oh yeah," he says. "F‑‑‑ yeah! Yeah, yeah."

The video didn't only focus on the Force Awakens, but also featured Driver as he talked the help that he got from theater, especially when he was readjusting to his life as a civilian after he left the Marines.

"When I got out of the military, I thought my transition from the military life to civilian life would be pretty simple," Driver revealed.  

"I was quick to learn that that was not the case. Putting words to feelings for the first time, I was making the human connection of being in the military through theater, and in doing so I felt less alone."
