Top 10 New Characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
A great villain. Not as much of a badass as Darth Vader, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
Aside from the menacing costume and new lightsaber, it's a different approach to being a villain. He isn't just a bad guy with no depth - he is a character who is menacing but also afraid of turning to the light side. Seeing a human side of a villain is something we don't often get in films.
Adam Driver killed it as Kylo Ren.
He is a young version of Darth Vader and was trained by the most powerful Jedi, Luke Skywalker.
Did I mention that his lightsaber is really cool?
Great character. Daisy Ridley did a great job as Rey.
Other than the performance, the character herself is just awesome. She's kind, she's crafty, and she kicks ass. Some people think she is too perfect, but Luke and Anakin also performed amazing things due to their Force powers.
Something I loved about her character is how she was afraid. Anakin and Luke were confident and excited to become Jedi. Rey didn't embrace her destiny - she ran from it. This showed weakness within her character and gave her slightly more depth than past Star Wars protagonists.
It's also great to finally have a female Jedi in the movies.
I can't believe they made Rey more powerful than Finn, and it was all just because of feminazi stuff (from what I heard, I could be wrong).
Finn had a reason to get pissed at Kylo Ren, and honestly, I think the ending would have been a LOT better if Finn fought and defeated Ren.
Best and most popular new character. There is so much merchandise featuring this character.
You derps! BB-8 should be number 1!
He is so cute!
Hux is Hitler in space.
He's the Supreme Leader of the First Order, and we don't even know his identity. He only appeared as a hologram.
She should be #1.
I feel like she should have creeped me out, but she didn't. "I am no Jedi, but I know the Force..."

I love this guy.
