    What is your favorite character trait, favorite moment, favorite line, or even favorite costuming for each character in The Force Awakens? It doesn’t have to be about the “strongest” moment, or the most moving speech—just a little thing that you like best about each major character.


    My favorites:

    • Rey: when she realizes it was Finn’s idea to come back for her
    • Finn: his courage
    • Kylo Ren: his strange mix of raw power and vulnerability
    • Poe: “BB-8, my buddy!”
    • BB-8: when he (?) runs over Finn to get to Poe
    • Han: “Ben!” (I still get chills.)
    • Leia: how she is the only one of the Big Three still fighting
    • Luke: OK there’s not much, but—the weight of seeing that lightsaber/Rey that we get from just his expression
    • Chewy: his little smile and head-tilt to Rey as they fly off to find Luke in the Falcon
    • Maz: her unself-conscious crawl across the table to look into Finn’s eyes
    • Hux: his impeccable tailoring
    • Snoke: his Lincoln Memorial chair
    • Phasma: shiny armor, duh! ;)

    (Sorry, I got nothing for R2 or 3PO!)


    What about you?

    this is harder than it looks!
    • Rey: "you're offering me a job!" i love this moment because it encapsulates her whole conflict: she wants to take it, but...Jakku
    • Finn: his courage ~ he's still the bravest of all the characters to me. everyone else who throws themselves into danger does so willingly and with a plan. Finn just does the right thing every time regardless of his own fear.
    • Kylo Ren: seriously, never in my life has there been a character i've not wanted to punch in the face so hard when he's outright asking for it.
    • Poe: “buddy!” ~ just makes me melt. hahaha
    • BB-8: thumbs up!
    • Han: “Luke couldn't save him, how can i?" ~ this line just slays me: you stupid stupid lug, you break my heart.
    • Leia: "Pretty good" ~ it's the only moment in the film she's happy and i'm holding onto that for dear life.
    • Luke: i love that he's let his hand go to metal; that's kind of awesome on a variety of levels ~ hahaha
    • Chewie: this is his best movie of them all ~ i'm so upset for him but at the same time he really got show how awesome he is.
    • Maz: love that she takes her goggles off to look at and talk to Rey; it's a little thing, but so disarming.
    • Hux: such a profoundly smug ass. that priceless snotty look he gives Ren as he leaves the chamber makes me want to kick him in the teeth ~ hahaha
    • Phasma: so shiny and chrome!
    • Snoke: hate this fishy-eyeballed toilet monster. i got nothing ~ hahaha
    @Choose Light: Hux's costume bothers me. it's the one costume in the whole movie that to me feels just...wrong ~ hahaha

    Careful, @FN-3263827, that your personal interests do not interfere with direct orders from... Hmm, kind of breaks down here, doesn't it? :p Can you pin down what don't you like about his costume?

    Thank you for this--it perfectly describes the conflict I feel about Kylo too!

    hahaha ~ i dunno! it's shiny and weird and too padded in the shoulders. and the ears on those hats are hilarious.
    i've gotten used to it all now, but when i first saw the movie, i just thought it was a bad costume ~ makes him look like a barking seal.
    if he'd kept the coat on, maybe it wouldn't have bothered me.

    also, the johdpurs on the villains in Star Wars have always been weird to me.
    they're riding pants and that's why they're shaped like that. what does Hux ride? moofs?

    hahaha!

    Haha! The ear flaps are hilarious, and yes, Hux is a total moof-milker. I wouldn't mind seeing him ride a rathtar. Heh heh heh.

    I like how Hux's anger and passion are so tightly focused and controlled there. He makes a nice foil for Kylo, who is just all over the place with his emotions.

    • Rey: Daisy Ridley.
    • Finn: "We'll use the Force!"
    • Kylo Ren: being Han and Leia's son.
    • Poe: “You talk first? I talk first?”
    • BB-8: thumb up (I guess).
    • Han: shoots first.
    • Leia: not very impressed with her, expected her to be more bossy.
    • Luke: is in the movie.
    • Chewy: hugs Leia (I guess) or raging after Han's death.
    • Maz: nothing.
    • Hux: everything.
    • Snoke: is a hologram, not some big-a$$ creature.
    • Phasma: who?

    Finn.. humor (beginning at first meeting with Rey "That's what we look like..", lines with bb8 in falcon, with Han on Falcon, Takodana and on Starkiller B.)

    Han..humor as well (ex.:"Don't say you have cold.. " to Chewie)

    Rey.. especially silent scenes (in front of AT-AT with the helmet, at the end meeting Luke)

    Leia..unbreakable in her believe in fighting for the right thing and in the rest of chance to get her son back )

    Chewie..(The stable rock in dark times, great moments of humor and outrage)

    Kylo..(this completely misguided fool with all possible weaknesses of an unstable frustrated young man, leading to fatal errors.. even bigger because of his talents)

    Poe..(his positive impacts of his enthusiastic character on everyone beside him ..)

    Luke..(Just for being REALLY AND HIMSELF there at the very end)

    BB8..(cute little fellow with a sense of humor and meeting the right ones at the right time)
    ..therefore I'm waiting very hard for the next moves on Ach-Too:)


    Hux (Bad..but good as a synonym for all the career fixed populists we have the big honor to dislike ..)

    Phasma..(To be as nice to visit the trash compactor)

    Oh, this is so difficult as there are so many moments I love!

    New Characters
    Rey:
    I enjoyed the look on her face when she bypassed the compressor on the Falcon. I also enjoyed the part when Plutt offered a ton of portions for BB-8 and the moment that followed. And I loved when she mind tricked Daniel Craig. That was great.
    Finn: If I had to pick one (I just love the new characters in this film), it would be the fact that he told Rey the truth before he could be exposed, saving us from the "liar revealed" plot point that films love to use.
    Poe: Um, virtually every moment. Poe's kriffing awesome. But I particularly love his interaction and bromance with Finn. Especially "You need a pilot."
    BB-8: The thumbs up.
    Maz: "Where's my boyfriend?"
    Ren: I personally loved when he was busting Hux's balls over Finn's escape. "They clearly gifted in high treason!"

    Old Characters
    Han:
    There are so many great moments, from "We're home" to "That's not how the Force works!" And the death scene. The fact that it didn't me should say something about how good it is.
    Leia: All the interactions between her and Han was fantastic. While you can how things change and how things never change. And, even after all these years, what made them a wonderful couple is still there.
    Chewie: His reactions during the encounter with the two gangs on the Eravana, when he was getting treated at the Resistence base, being cold at Starkiller Base, and the cry of rage and grief leading to him shooting Kylo.
    C-3PO: That entrance.

    Yes! I was dreading one of those scenes. Way to man up, Finn! ;)
