But some of the actors in Star Wars: The Last Jedi already have wookiee-size wealth, compared to co-stars whose bank accounts are more like the film's little porg creatures. (Which are either adorable or annoying — but we'll leave that debate for another time.)
Follow along as we look at what the stars of the new Star Wars movie are worth, counting down to the very richest. Can you guess who that is? You may be surprised!
21. Kelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico)

Prior to her role as the loyal, brave and driven Rose Tico in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Tran's most prevelant role was in a (widely-circulated) CollegeHumor video. Her big break in Last Jedi allowed her to pay off her student loans and boast a significant amount of screen time alongside some of Hollywood's biggest stars in the highest-grossing film franchise of all-time. We have no doubt Tran is a name to watch!
Kelly Marie Tran's net worth is estimated to be in the range of $100,000-$300,000 according to CNBC and BuzzFeed.

Isaac hit the jackpot with the role of blaster-happy pilot Poe Dameron in the new Star Wars films.

8. Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker)
Hamill has made a lucrative career for himself.
Mark Hamill has made a lucrative career for himself, even though his iconic role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise left him somewhat typecast and made it difficult for him to land other roles.
When his face became too closely associated with Luke, Hamill turned to voiceover work. He has a long list of cartoon credits, including as the voice of the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series in the 1990s and the more recent Justice League Action.
Hamill has a net worth of $18 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
7. Justin Theroux (Master Codebreaker)
Justin Theroux has a cameo in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
The man you've seen at grocery checkouts as one half of the supermarket tabloid couple "Justin and Jen" (with wife Jennifer Aniston), Theroux has only a cameo in Last Jedi, as a suave master codebreaker recognized by the red pin he wears on his lapel.
But there's no need to feel sad over the actor's lack of screen time. Theroux is doing just fine, thanks to: the TV series The Leftovers and his other acting work; his video game voiceovers on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and others; and his screenwriting gigs, such as on Iron Man 2.
He has a net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
6. Carrie Fisher (Gen. Leia Organa)
The late Carrie Fisher makes her "Star Wars" swan song.
In Last Jedi, the late Carrie Fisher makes her final appearance as Leia — and without those dopey donut buns that made her famous. ("Luke, I know what you're going to say. I changed my hair," her character jokes, when she's finally reunited with her brother in the new film.)
The beloved actress died in late 2016 a few days after she suffered cardiac arrest on a flight from London to Los Angeles. She made her money not only from Star Wars, but also from many other acting roles and her work as a screenwriter and novelist.
Fisher's estate has a net worth of $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
5. Andy Serkis (Snoke)
Serkis has more than 50 stage, tv and blockbuster movie roles under his belt.
Famed character actor, director and writer Andy Serkis has made quite a name for himself since his theater days in England. Besides his spectacular turn as Gollum in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, Serkis has more than 50 stage, tv and blockbuster movie roles under his belt.
After his transformative role as Caesar in the Planet of the Apes franchise, Serkis took up the mantle of the visibly twisted and evil Snoke in The Force Awakens. Snoke is perfectly hideous in the newest film, too — and we can’t wait to see what the uber-talented Serkis does next.
Andy Serkis’ hard-earned net worth is currently estimated at $28 million, says TheRichest.
4. Frank Oz (Yoda)
Frank Oz is the voice of Yoda in the "Star Wars" films.
As Yoda himself might say of the actor who provides his voice, "Amassed ample wealth he has." And that's even though most Star Wars fans likely have no idea what the man behind the Jedi master looks like.
But that probably doesn't bother Frank Oz, one of the richest voiceover actors around. He started out with Jim Henson doing voices for a multitude of muppets, including Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Grover, then landed his long-running Yoda role after Henson himself declined.
Oz has a net worth of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
3. Tom Hardy (A cut cameo)

Hardy met his current wife, Charlotte Riley, on the set of the TV miniseries version of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. Riley played Hardy’s love interest. Their beautiful on-screen chemistry evidently stemmed from a real-life love.
Hardy has a net worth of $30 million, according to TheRichest.
2. Benicio del Toro (DJ)
Oscar winner Benicio del Toro plays in mysterious DJ in "Last Jedi.
Benicio Del Toro won an Academy Award for his supporting role as a good-hearted Mexican policeman in the 2001 movie Traffic. He plays a less savory character in Last Jedi: the mysterious and double-dealing hacker known as DJ.
