The characters that were introduced in the Last Jedi were fairly meh, when compared to the ones introduced in the Force Awakens.
No argument whatsoever. Who was introduced (and survived)? The Benicio del Toro character [DJ]? Rose Tico? Those were the only characters I can think of. Laura Dern's character died, and I honestly can't think of any other new characters introduced.
But why does that matter? The nexus going forward is Kylo/Rey/Finn/Poe/BB-8, and maybe Hux. There was no need for major new characters.

Yeah, I agree. I like the new movies. 

There were a few other new ones that didn't add much, though. There was the woman with the schnoz that was about the same age as Dern and Fisher. 

Who was the gal that is pictured here with Leia? 



She probably has the most potential of the Last Jedi noobs, but didn't have much of a role and probably won't ever be seen again.

Carrie Fisher's real-life daughter.

Heh, far out. 

Well maybe they will expand her role going forward, then. 

It seemed like Dern, Rose and the Schnoz were cast in order to make Rey look more like an 8 or a 9 than a 6.

Yup, finally saw it this morning and really enjoyed it.  Thanks to everyone for (finally ;) ) keeping spoliers off the other threads.
I'm looking forward to seeing it again in the theather.  I need to take my dad, and I'm sure my brother and son will come with me as well.  
I think it's almost an impossible task for any "new" (post-1983) Star Wars movie to live up to the hype.  But I saw the original trilogy when I was a kid, I grew up with them.  They weren't high cinema.  They were accessible and fun.  That's all they were ever supposed to be. And for me, eipisodes 7 and 8 (and 3.5) have all been similarly accessible and fun.  
1,2,3 on the other hand were a bit of a beating, as much as I wanted to love them.
