- General Pryde: didn’t serve any purpose apart from replacing Hux for some reason, Hux who served as a narrative shortcut since his betrayal of the FO’s arc wasn't explored. They could have let him live, throw in the garbage the betrayal (since it doesn’t serve any purpose) and Pryde.

- The Knights of Ren: so they really were just a boy band on their rock created to look cool and sell dope merch. Their force sensitivity is absent, they could have been easily replaced by high-ranking stormtroopers and it wouldn’t have changed a thing. I hoped they were more present and created more conflict in Kylo’s soul. 

- Zorri: I really like her design and her badass vibe but truly, apart from looking good, making sure we all know that Poe isn’t gay and a narrative shortcut she’s pretty useless and doesn’t serve any purpose. She should have been the one gathering allies from her planet for the final big battle, it would have made sense if she’s part of a gang and the population of her planet is fed up with the FO.

- Jannah: I was so hopeful when she arrived, I was like “yeah finally the stormtroopers will have a bit of a story and will turn against the FO. But nah, she doesn’t even serve Finn’s arc as he doesn’t have one in this movie. Rose could have replaced her in many ways. 

As much as I liked seeing new characters on screen and I’m grateful for the people who played them, I don’t like the idea of creating characters who are either useless, either used to cover the bad writing, either to sell merch. 

We had already great characters who could have evolved once more in this third movie but were replaced for nobodies. 

Finn: You forgot to introduce my boyfriend.
