With every Hollywood production, stars have a tendency to bring something home with them from the set, and the stars of Star Wars are no exception. Sitting down with Yahoo!, the cast of The Last Jedi share their most valuable Star Wars keepsakes.

Daisy Ridley shares, "My most prized possession is, Joonas [Suotamo], who is one of the wonderful [Chewbacca performers], he gave me a Chewie doll that lives in my living room… That is my most prized possession because he is really wonderful."

Though Harrison Ford isn't in The Last Jedi, John Boyega talks about his keepsake from The Force Awakens which is a Han Solo action figure signed by Ford. He says he also has the signatures of Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. Kelly Marie Tran, who plays Rose in the film, won't reveal what her keepsake is, but it was definitely something from the set of The Last Jedi.

Laura Dern said, ""Oscar Isaac. He just doesn't know he's my possession yet," and Oscar Isaac reveals, "Poe's blaster. I have it tucked away somewhere...under my pillow… It's under my pillow, okay?"

Director Rian Johnson says that he got a working porg puppet from the creature department of the movie. He explains, "Right now my favorite possession is I just got from the creature guys a porg, actually… But like the real puppet, the actual deal, and they gave it to me mounted with the wires going in so I can control its face with a little joystick thing. It's pretty amazing."

As for Mark Hamill, his keepsake was something back from his original trilogy days. He says, "I kept the Stormtrooper helmet that I rescued the princess in. I asked for it, you can't just walk off with it… And I kept Luke's boots. Usually items from wardrobe. But they're not at my house, potential burglars. They're in a vault somewhere in the Valley."

It's pretty cool to see what actors like to bring from the set because it says so much about them and the movie they're making. I'd like to know if Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford kept as well, but Fisher is gone, and I have a feeling Ford wants to forget he had anything to do with Star Wars.

For now, we can catch all of the cast come together in Star Wars: The Last Jedi which comes out Dec. 15.
