Billie Lourd
Billie wore a Leia-esque outfit to begin the tribute to her mother. I think Carrie and Leia both would have appreciated the level of sleeve drama.
SNIFFLE.
John Boyega
He was so charismatic in The Force Awakens. I will say this: For all that movie's structural similarities to A New Hope, it did a good job investing me in the new people, to the point where the various losses incurred don't make me worried that the movies will still hold up.
Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford
This makes me feel old. I can only imagine how it made them feel. I also hope that Mark, who famously got into a bad car accident right before filming Empire Strikes Back in a way that not only changed his face a bit but which forced them to add some scenes explaining the swelling, sat Harrison down backstage and was like, "MAYBE IT'S TIME TO STOP FLYING, EH?"
Billy Dee Williams
Lando Calrissian, reporting for duty with glasses that match his shirt.
Hayden Christensen
"And you guys all HATED ME in those two movies, but I'm still here! It blows my mind, too! Apparently I'm a hugely good sport, and also maybe hoping you'll look back fondly upon my performance once you realize that ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE is terrible in the prequels."
Kelly Marie Tran
Kelly plays a Resistance mechanic, I believe, and it must be tough for her to come out to these things and drum up interest without actually being able to say anything specific. Let's all decide to read wildly false things into the fact that she and Lando matched their clothes.
John Williams
When do we get Larry David playing John Williams in something?
Josh Gad
Originally I thought Josh Gad was in the movie, but apparently he just shot some little videos with Daisy Ridley (I read she did NOT CARE FOR HIM during shooting, and I incorrectly internalized that as "during shooting of the movie they are both in," rather than, "during shooting of the videos they did together while she filmed the main movie"). Right now I am in a place of needing a real long break from Josh Gad.
The poster
It's SUCH a good poster, though. I really love this. Dammit, Star Wars, I will never quit you.
