A lot can be said about the Star Wars sequel trilogy, but certainly not that it didn't generate controversy. One of the most talked-about decisions of the filmmakers concerned the killing of Han Solo in The Force Awakens. The thought of treating the saga's leading character like this not only chilled every fan of the universe, but, as it turns out, also the very actors playing in J.J. Abrams' movie.

Adam Driver, who was given the role of Han's son Ben, had particular doubts about the rightness of the decision. Recall that the young Jedi, entangled by Snoke, believed that only by killing his father would he be able to completely break with the Light side of the Force.

In an interview, the actor revealed that the scene in which he had to take the life of his movie father terrified him the most of all. On the other hand, Driver felt excitement at the thought of taking part in the farewell to a Star Wars legend.

"That was the scene that probably terrified me the most. I wanted to avoid it as much as possible, and at the same time I was very excited about the possibility of it happening. But getting to that point, the emotions it evoked in me, were very... You're with all these thoughts that are boiling in your head, but ultimately it all disappears when you look at the other person," the star revealed in a video recounting the behind-the-scenes of The Force Awakens (via Slash Film).

Driver also spared no praise toward Harrison Ford and the opportunity to work with the Hollywood legend.

"I remember a particular moment when I walked onto the set with Harrison and he said: 'Look what we're going to do.' For me it was an amazing moment because he is someone who has achieved so much. He is so enthusiastic about the process and feels so happy to be involved, it was very inspiring," he added.

If you would like to relive this iconic moment once again, Star Wars: The Force Awakens can be found on Disney+.
