The First Order's new droid had a lot of hype when it was first revealed before the movie opened, but it didn't get a lot of screen time. Maybe we'll see more of it in action in deleted scenes, but for now it's one of those cool-looking new things that feels like it got thrown into the movie for merchandising reasons.

Maz's appearance in "The Last Jedi" is another thing that feels horseshoed in. She's off fighting someone, somewhere, but has time to take a call? She drops some knowledge on our friends in the Resistance, but it's a random appearance.

35.

Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong'o)

This Cloddogran is the mean master of the stable kids who look over the Fathiers (space horses) on Canto Bight at the end of "The Last Jedi." From his looks, I think grown-ups are frightened of him, too.

He's only got a few moments of screen time, but this lovable Suerton we see at Canto Bight epitomizes the clientele that hang out at the casino there — having a fun time without a care in the world. Warwick Davis, who has been everything in "Star Wars" movies — from an Ewok to an observer of young Anakin Skywalker winning an important pod race in "Phantom Menace" — adds another role.

Wodibin (Warwick Davis)

This Canto Bight resident doesn't like it when Finn and Rose Tico illegally land on the beach in search of the Master Codebreaker. He calls the authorities, which leads to our heroes' race through the city, and at one point through the casino (literally). Joseph Gordon-Levitt does the voice of Slowen Lo (inspired by the Beastie Boys' 1986 song "Slow and Low"). Gordon-Levitt has been in every feature film Rian Johnson has directed.

Slowen Lo (voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt)

This veteran of the battles against the Galactic Empire is now battling the First Order. He gets less screen time this movie than what we saw in "The Force Awakens," but it's good to see he's still kicking around.

31.

Nien Nunb (Mike Quinn)

Is he going to be the story we follow in Rian Johnson's upcoming new "Star Wars" trilogy? Or is he just a cute kid with Jedi powers who isn't named Skywalker? Guess only time will tell, but his appearance in "The Last Jedi" is certainly memorable.

30.

Temiri Blagg (Temirlan Blaev)

She is Blue Leader during the surprise bomb run on the First Order in the beginning of "The Last Jedi," and is one of the few survivors. It seemed that perhaps we were being introduced to one of those pilots we might see again and again on attack runs, like Wedge Antilles. But she doesn't survive Kylo Ren's counter-attack.

29.

A-Wing Pilot Tallie (Hermione Corfield)

Found lying on the cliffs of the island where Luke Skywalker has lived during his self-imposed exile, these marine creatures are known best for producing the blue milk that became famous when Luke and his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru drank it in "A New Hope." Is this why Luke chose this island, so he can drink the milk from its source anytime he wants? Whether it was a happy accident or not, we see in the movie that Luke is very happy Thala-sirens are there.

The movie kicks off with some entertaining moments between General Hux, Poe, and this guy. Captain Canady definitely doesn't seem to like having to take orders from a youngster like Hux, but when his ship, Fulminatrix, is destroyed by the bombing run from the Resistance, Canady shows no fear and goes down with his ship.

27.

Captain Canady (Mark Lewis Jones)

It was a somber goodbye for ol' Ackbar. A legend for taking out Star Destroyer 2.0 in "Return of the Jedi" and sniffing out a trap in the battle, he was one of the many casualties in the Resistance trying to escape the First Order in this movie.
26.

Admiral Ackbar (Tim Rose, Voiced by Tom Kane)

These majestic creatures were one of the highlights of the Canto Bight section of the movie. Are they on the level of Porg cuteness? No. But their backstory and athletic abilities make them fun to watch.

25.

Fathiers

He's the mysterious person Finn and Rose Tico are looking for on Canto Bight, and Justin Theroux gives the character a suave personality and dashing looks. I hope he comes back again next movie.

24.

These fox-like creatures with crystal fur give a big assist to the Resistance after they are trapped in an old base. Just another remarkable piece of work by the wizards at Lucasfilm.

23.

Vulptices

Connix gets thrown a bit more into the plot for this movie. She plays a loyal Resistance member to Leia (Lourd is Carrie Fisher's daughter). Great to see Lourd get more screen time.

Lieutenant Connix (Billie Lourd)

They are the caretakers of the island Skywalker is on, but they are also one of the comic-relief pieces of the movie. There are a lot of unusual things in this movie, but these creatures yelling at Rey for blowing a hole in one of the huts on the island is definitely one of the most out-there moments.

21.

Paige Tico (Veronica Ngo) (Lucasfilm)
She's responsible for the first dramatic part of the movie when she's the only person left in the bombing run who can release the payload to take out the First Order's massive ship. Rian Johnson sets up the suspense perfectly, and the acting of Ngo does the rest.

20.

C-3PO pretty much gets the right amount of screen time that's needed for this movie. He throws in a little exposition now and again and gets a funny reunion with Luke. Can't really ask for anything more.

19.C-3PO (Anthony Daniels)

Same can be said with Chewie. He's got his reunion with Luke, some sweet Millennium Falcon riding, and he bonds with a Porg after hunting one to eat.

18.Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo)

BB-8 isn't as much of a focus as the previous movie. He has his moments to shine in the opening battle, but he's in the background for the most part after that.

17. BB-8 (Brian Herring and Dave Chapman)

There's nothing bad you can say about the Porgs. They are definitely not the new Ewoks. They bring some great laughs while also being very cute. A perfect addition to the saga.

16.

You had a 50-50 shot when Luke decided to burn down the sacred Jedi books — either Yoda or Obi-Wan Kenobi was going to show up. You got Yoda. And we can't complain. He offers his usual words of wisdom and at the same time brings that nostalgia for the original trilogy.

15.Yoda (Voiced by Frank Oz)

It's still a disappointment that Phasma hasn't gotten a lot of screen time in these movies. If this is really her last time in the saga, then it's a major bummer because she has less screen time in this one than in "The Force Awakens." Just seems like a great character to do so little with.

14.

Like C-3PO, R2-D2 has the perfect amount of screen time, and it's topped by an interaction with Luke. The two old friends join one last time, and R2 shows Luke the old footage of Leia's message to Obi-Wan from "A New Hope." It's a moment when you need a couple of tissues.

13.

They certainly do a lot more than what the Emperor's guards did in "Return of the Jedi." Snoke's guards look badass, and they have some great weapons. The duel they put on with Kylo Ren and Rey is pretty memorable.

12.

Poe has a much different role in "The Last Jedi." He's a hothead who has to learn that being a leader doesn't mean doing heroic things that could get you and others killed. To understand that, he's more in the background of this movie. But he's front and center for its opening battle.

11.

Rose teams with Finn on a journey to help the Resistance, and in doing so there's now a new love brewing in the galaxy. Or at least a love triangle between Rose, Finn, and Rey. Or maybe I'm looking way too deep into this — it seems with this new trilogy anything's possible. But Tran holds her own as the new major character added to "Star Wars."

10.

Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran)

As with all the characters in "The Last Jedi," Finn's storyline takes an interesting pivot. We can debate all day whether it was the right choice, but what's still there is Boyega's solid performance.

9.

Benicio del Toro added into the "Star Wars" saga is perfection. You never know what DJ's motives are or whom he's loyal to. We can only hope there's more of him in the next movie.

8.Dj (Benicio del Toro)

If there's any one character who had a rebirth from the J.J. Abrams movie to the Rian Johnson one, it's Hux. Under the pen of Johnson, Hux becomes a comic punching bag, not just a general with fake power. Gleeson really shows he's got talent doing straight-faced comedy.

7. General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson)

We finally see Snoke in the flesh, and he doesn't disappoint. The delivery of every word by Serkis is just scenery-chewing greatness, and the motion-capture of Snoke is remarkable.

6.

It's one of the few roles we didn't really know that much about before seeing the movie. At first it looks as if Holdo is a seen-it-before mole for the bad guys, but it's a fun twist when her true intentions are revealed. And, of course, there's her final scene that may go down among the most memorable of any "Star Wars" movie.
