    Great question? It'll be interesting to see who comes out on top.
    Ford did from the ST and Portman from the PT.

    Technically, Keira Knightley might reign supreme from the PT. Granted she wasn't one of the main players. But Knightley went on to star in 1 or 2 of the enormously successful Pirates of the Caribbean films. Portman managed to gain some critical praise over the years, but her box office receipts are pretty meh. In all fairness she took time off to have a child... her star seems to have plateaued for the time being.

    I know there have been tons of others... Was only considering the box office behemoths.

    I'm just glad there's unknowns in this movie. Just like the originals. It seems they went for people based on their acting ability and appropriate-ness as appose to finding big names (like in the prequels).

    I got a feeling Boyega and Daisy will be a huge hit. I'm also hoping this will revamp Hamills career.

    I'll go Domnhall Gleeson. He is already pre established and his family has roots in the film industry already. I think he'll be able to use Star Wars as a springboard for his career and start getting a lot of new roles.

    Adam Driver.. if hes indeed a villain, he will destroy everything... but imo it will be like
    Adam Driver - Darth Vader
    John Boyega - Luke Skywalker
    Daisy Ridley - Leia Organa

    I don't think any of them individually will attain blockbuster command status. None of them have that presence or power about them. Even Ford didn't really imo, he just sorta got lucky. He was born to play Solo and Indy though, he was great in those roles. I didn't like him in TFA though, he was more like Han So Low in that flick. I really don't think he's that great of an actor.

    Out of the bunch, I like Domnhall Gleeson the best as an actor. I honestly thought he was going to play either a young Palpatine in a flash back or Luke's son. Boy was I wrong lol.
