9. Rey – Superwoman!
Rey is an awesome character well played by Daisy Ridley. She is extremely likable and is extremely interesting as a “scraper.” However, Rey goes from living in a destitute land and being just a regular unknowing girl to being the second coming of every great Star Wars hero that pre-existed in the original series. She is fearless, talented, athletic, intelligent, and can seemingly do anything she wants. She even is able to harness her hidden abilities, “The Force,” and self-teach herself to be great. She is so amazing in Episode 7 that one wonders how in the world she will follow this up for the rest of the series. She literally out-Forces another Jedi, our arch villain Kylo Ren (aka, Ben Solo) and is able to reconfigure Han Solo’s ship, baffling even him. It’s just too much for her to be able to do anything she wants with ease. Even Luke had his bumps in the road way back in the day and he is a pretty damn impressive Jedi.
