Watch: Has John Boyega Seen "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" Yet?

You'd think Star Wars: The Force Awakens star John Boyega would have seen the much-anticipated movie by now.

But no.

"I haven't seen it," Boyega, who stars as Finn in the sure-to-be box office hit, told me earlier today after he and Elizabeth Olsen announced the nominees of the 2016 Film Independent Spirit Awards at the W Hotel in Hollywood. "I haven't seen the movie…I haven't see the movie cut together so it will be fun when I finally do."

It sure will be.

"We're so close. Oh, my gosh, we're so close," Boyega said. "I can't wait for this movie to come out. Today apparently there is a screening."

He insists he doesn't know where or when. "I'm not going," he said.

And when the J.J. Abrams-directed film does hit theaters on Dec. 18, Boyega and the rest of the cast won't have to worry about keeping things so secret anymore.

Boyega admits he's revealed some tidbits to his mom. "But she doesn't know anything about Star Wars," he said. "I tell her but it just doesn't excite her. She's like, 'Are you in it? That's great.'"

We also had the chance to play a round of Costar Confidential with Boyega.

Among many goodies, he revealed Daisy Ridley was the most likely to throw a dinner party while they were shooting. "She's a good cook and a good baker," he said.

He also claimed Harrison Ford was the most likely to go out…dancing! "Harrison Ford is my best friend so with that being said, I brought out sides of him he's never seen before," Boyega said. "He'd tell ya that."
