7. Chewbacca And The Porgs

Much like Return of the Jedi gave us Ewoks, The Last Jedi is giving us a whole new species destined to sell, in technical terms, an absolute f**load of merchandise.

The Porgs are destined to be a big hit, and with good reason: the little creatures are ridiculously cute, and look set to provide a lot of laughs as well. A species native to Ahch-To, we've already heard how they get everywhere - and that certainly includes on a Wookiee's nerves - so it'd make sense if they popped up in the trailer as well. Just look at them, man.

On the subject of Wookiees, it's also important to see more of Chewbacca in the trailer. He wasn't present in the first teaser, and there's a feeling of him being the forgotten man, or Wookiee, in all of this. One of the highlights of the marketing for The Force Awakens was the "Chewie, we're home" bit, and while Han is now gone, they can still use Chewbecca in an effective way to tease the movie.
