Our 10 Favorite Characters From Star Wars: The Force Awakens

After more than three years of waiting, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is finally here! Since being released, everyone is talking about this return to a Galaxy Far, Far Away and what's next for the franchise. Before we get too wrapped up in the future though, it's important to focus on the amazing work J.J. Abrams did with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and that obviously includes the new characters he introduced to this world and the very different versions of the original ones who made their return here.

BB8

Fans have been fascinated by BB-8 since the first teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and while merchandise featuring the droid’s likeness started selling out incredibly fast, there was always a chance that she could end up being this movie’s Jar Jar Binks (even if it is pretty hard to imagine another character being damn as annoying).

Thankfully, that didn’t end up being the case, and as well as being one of the funniest characters in the movie, BB-8 is also every bit as loveable as expected. Surprisingly emotive and featuring a ton of personality, she puts even R2-D2 to shame. It’s going to be fascinating to see what’s next for her in Episode VIII (especially as she remained alongside Poe Dameron at the end of the movie rather than taking off with Rey).
