13. Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo

Another of the new band of characters added to The Last Jedi, Amilyn Holdo is an old friend of Leia's who started in politics and proved herself an ally before becoming a Vice Admiral in the Resistance. Little is really known of her beyond that, other than the fact that she's... odd. And that's not really a power.

Here's how she's described by author Claudia Gray, who has written her already:

"She's somebody who's a bit off-kilter, who sees the world through a prism most others don't understand. At first Leia thinks she's pleasant but weird, but as time goes on, it becomes apparent that there's much more to Holdo than you might guess when you first met her. We don't really have a lot of true oddballs in Star Wars, so it was fun to introduce one!"

There's definitely a possibility that she's duplicitous, and the idea of an old friend betraying a hero would mirror Lando's deception in Empire Strikes Back. But none of that really confirms her powers - just her character.
