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 about him. Oh boy, was I wrong. Kylo Ren may be a badass but he's also a very emotional, intriguing, intimidating and compelling villain. A villain who feels conflicted, who has the desire to go back to the light side but doesn't have the courage to, kills his father Han Solo which added more to the emotional drama between Han and Leia, and also idolizing his grandfather Darth Vader (or shall I say Anakin Skywalker). That's how you make a great villain. He has the makings of being a true competitor to Darth Vader.

When people call him a wimp, think about it for a second. What conflict this poor guy is suffering through, and everything in between. He's practically being torn apart, as he said in the movie himself. To me, he is no wimp, but a fighter, because he's been through a lot, guys, and even though he killed his own father, he has his reasons.

Ren is certainly not as intimidating as previous villains of Star Wars in this film, but I'll say this: he certainly was improved upon in The Last Jedi.

Also is just me or does he look a lot more like a younger, sci-fi equivalent of Severus Snape?

I was constantly afraid that he'll become a hysterical ass. But he was very reasonable, charismatic and emotional character. He wasn't bad for the sake of being bad (like Hitler-esque Hux or medichlorian-absolution Snoke). He is motivated, yet confused between the sides and he is very intimidating and tactical.

Han Solo only appeared in the first of the three movies and his scenes we're still better than all of the other characters' scenes. His death gave us the shock and violence that we got use 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

R.I.P. Han Solo, you will never be forgotten, F your son Kylo Ren.

Rey is incredible. She is coool. Her story fascinated me. As a child she was left on Jakku, and got herself through until the age of 19 at which she leaves with Finn and the Milenium Falcon. She is a great Pilot, even though no one taught her. She constantly keeps proving that she can be better than somebody, especially the guys. She leaves without her Parents ever returning, and starts fighting alongside the Resistance. Also she had some other personal lows, like when Finn tried to leave, and I think she does like him, either as a friend, or maybe as something else, I don't know. Later she is kidnapped by Ren and gets out by herself, minutes later she watches Han Solo die and is devastated. Then Finn falls into a coma, 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, and maybe there is something else to ...more

Rey is a revolutionary character as she is the 1st female lead in a movie that normally has only one female in the entire trilogy, but she's so much more. I love her, and I don't care 5hat other people on this site think rte hat she is a Mary Sue.

Quite an interesting character. it's pretty fair to say that Daisy Ridley has a very bright future ahead of her because she had some of the best acting I've ever seen in Star Wars. I know I may be overrate, but that's just me.

My guess is, she'll be some kind of a main focus in the new trilogy. And that is certainly good, together with Kylo Ren, she is probably the most interesting and intriguing new character.

Out of everyone in The Force Awakens, I think Finn is my favorite character. We have always seen stormtroopers as goons who shot bad, 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 him are both funny.

He's the only good character in the movie along with Maz Kanata.

He shot kylo in the gut the 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!

The new pilot

I like the guy

She's an original.

And she's hot.

Amazing character if you read the Phasma book. Phasma's iconic never before seen armour made me really interested in phasma. 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 at least added her to the movie.

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

Funniest character in the movie!

A character who resembles a cross between Voldemort from Harry Potter and Gollum from Middle Earth, yet 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.
