Best Characters In Star Wars: The Force Awakens

One of the biggest surprises of this movie. I was afraid that he was going to be a typical badass villain with a menacing lightsaber, look, and voice without much background. Oh boy, was I wrong.

Kylo Ren may be a badass, but he's also a very emotional, intriguing, intimidating, and compelling villain. He feels conflicted, desires to return to the light side but doesn't have the courage to, and kills his father Han Solo, which added more to the emotional drama between Han and Leia. He also idolizes his grandfather Darth Vader (or Anakin Skywalker).

That's how you make a great villain. He has the makings of being a true competitor to Darth Vader.

Han Solo only appeared in the first of the three movies, and his scenes were still better than all the other characters' scenes. His death gave us the shock and violence we got used to seeing in Star Wars, and it was an iconic moment.

Han Solo was the greatest thing to have ever happened in the history of Star Wars. He's my hero. Unlike other characters in the franchise, he was always the cool guy we all know and love. He's the best.

Still the best. But out of the new characters, I would say Rey, even though she's overpowered and kind of broke the Force, in my opinion.

Rey is incredible. She is cool. Her story fascinated me. As a child, she was left on Jakku and managed to survive until the age of 19, when she leaves with Finn and the Millennium Falcon.

She is a great pilot, even though no one taught her. She constantly proves that she can be better than others, especially the guys. She leaves without her parents ever returning and starts fighting alongside the Resistance. She had some personal lows, like when Finn tried to leave. I think she likes him, either as a friend or maybe as something more, I don't know.

Later, she is kidnapped by Ren and escapes on her own. Minutes later, she watches Han Solo die and is devastated. Then Finn falls into a coma, and she has to fight Ren and get away. Later, she has to leave Finn again, and considering that she whispers, "We'll see each other again. I feel it. Thank you, my friend." as she kisses him on the forehead, I think she really likes him. Maybe there is something more to come.

Out of everyone in The Force Awakens, I think Finn is my favorite character. We have always seen stormtroopers as goons who shoot badly, but Finn showed that not every stormtrooper wants to be one. John Boyega did a fantastic job playing this character, and I can't wait to see him in Episode 8.

Rey, unfortunately, in my opinion, is a Mary Sue. Kylo Ren, unfortunately, is a Vader wannabe. But Finn? He is 100% unique! Everything about him is so different from everyone else, plus he is really funny! Well, Rey and he are both funny.

He shot Kylo in the gut, then went on a rampage, which was my favorite moment aside from the lightsaber duel at the end.

Give the Wookie your vote since no one will give him a medal or a hug!

Amazing character if you read the Phasma book. Phasma's iconic, never-before-seen armor made me really interested in her. I like the idea of Phasma being a female villain, as you don't really see that in Star Wars. I was disappointed to see Phasma's screen time in The Force Awakens, but I'm glad that they at least added her to the movie.

A character who resembles a cross between Voldemort from Harry Potter and Gollum from Middle-earth. His true identity is not known. He could be any character from the past movies, spin-offs, and games, and he's the "Supreme Leader" of the First Order.

So much mystery surrounds Snoke.

She's an orange and weaker version of Yoda, mixed with E.T. in looks. She brought Rey toward a nightmare tunnel. You should feel bad for her after her castle got destroyed by the First Order.

Funniest character in the movie!
