Now let's talk about the Last Jedi.

First of all 14 stars. This is the most for any Star Wars film, equal to The Phantom Menace and The Force Awakens.

Mark Hamill is back to the top, a place he is used to in all bar The Force Awakens, that he has been in. Mark may not be the main character, but he certainly appears to be prominent enough for him to top the "true" star.

Daisy and John are next which makes sense. Adam Driver again is fourth which is very interesting because it seems they are treating him as the "third" star, which is odd because he is on the dark side. I would have thought that Oscar Isaac would be here but again like TFA, he is not here. Carrie Fisher follows, and this is her last appearance in the series. Her final place is 5th. Oscar Isaac follows after her.

Andy Serkis has risen to 7th place which shows that Snoke is in it a lot more than he was in TFA. Lupita is still in 8th which suggests that Maz is in the film as much as she was in TFA, despite what reports seem to suggest. The rest follows in a logical order, and the same as the TFA, with the addition of three new cast members, "replacing" Harrison Ford, Max Von Syndrow and Peter Mayhew. Peter is interesting because he is still in the film but he isn't part of the main cast which does show that he isn't in it as much at all, as we expected.
