So since she has only like 30 seconds of screen time and 3 sentences. Doesnt even shoot a gun or do anything. Why did they market her as an important character ?

Was it just a marketing stunt to show "Look, we got stronk womyn!" ?
>>
It was trying to force another bobby fett
>>
>>63749977
pretty much this
>>
>>63749957

No, it was mainly for selling toys , and attracting feminist and Game of Thrones audiences to buy tickets
>>
>people saying Phasma is going to be the next Fett
>"how come she only had like 30 seconds of screen time and didn't even do anything?"

See Fett, ESB
>>
The character was changed from a man to a woman in response to the complaints about the lack of women when that very first script reading photo came out, so in a sense, yes.
>>
>>63749977
Boba Fett is actually less important in the two OT movies he was in than Phasma was in this one. Kind of silly how fanboys can bloat a shit character like that into a phenomenon.

Even sillier that Disney is trying to do it again with some STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMANTROOPER.
>>
>>63749957
Stronk women + Boba Fett in chrome
>>
she was literal comic relief, such a letdown

i was excited for her character too

when she was telling finn to submit his blaster i was hyped for some interrogation / inner workings of empire military shit and got nothing

then later lol throw her in the trash!!
>>
Tbh how do people think that this shit its better than PT?
>Women stronk!!
>Black powaaah!!!!
>>
>>63749977
This. But you can't force stuff like that. Boba Fett worked because he wasn't planned to become popular. Making a character with the idea that they'll be some popular dark horse that'll sell a lot of merch is a terrible way to make a character.
>>
>>63750116

Fucking this. When they captured her I thought "Oh man now she will kick some ass for sure!" nope.
>>
>>63749957
It shits me that she's a lady

I am totally fine with whole rey and finn thing, but I think the Character of Phasma would have suited a man much better
>>
>The new Boba Fett
>Literally throw her in the trash compactor

Oh I am laffin
>>
>>63750219
And she instantly caves and takes down the shields. Worst girl easily.
>>
She's that whore from Django Unchained.
It's actually part of the Tarantino-Disney merge, how can you not see it?
>>
>>63749957
she was basically pure marketing but I'm guessing she'll have a larger role in the next one, involving a personal vendetta against Finn
>>
>>63750406

But who cares at this point ? She is the reason Resistance destroyed the planet and then got thrown in fucking trash bin.

Is she even alive ? I hope she died when planet exploded because they ruined the character anyway.

He kind of was, though. Kenner was selling toys of him well before his screen debut. The Holiday Special's animated segment featured him prominently not to hype Empire (still a year and a half off from that point), but to hype the Boba Fett mail-in promo.

Boba was always positioned to be a popular character, but because he was mainly aimed at children they were the only ones who remembered him (if you just watched the movies, he's entirely forgettable). When the kids grew up, Boba became a "cult favorite" because the average non-fan didn't know who he was.
>>
Why is everyone assuming she's gone? She'll be back in the next movie guaranteed. If not I'll give everyone on /TV/ $1 each
>>
>>63750634

but why should we want her back ? If nothing else she should be executed by New Order themselfs for turning off shields.

She was funny. She'll be even funnier in the sequel when she comes back with her armour all crumpled from the trash compactor.
>>
>>63749957
She looks cool and they want to sell toys. That's literally it.
>>
>>63750042
Did you even watch the OT?
Boba Fett was instrumental to the whole plot by helping to capture Han Solo & friends.
>>
I was expecting low so I wouldn't be dissapointed, but it was beyond any expectations of dissapointment. Not angry nor sad, it's just the blandest movie i've seen all year.

It's scene per scene, Episode IV with cheese. It wasn't predictable, it was line by line, script per script Episode IV.

It's just meh. Bad. Incredibly "play safe, milk those suckers off nostalgia". It was a meme movie, shoving shit out of nostalgia pandering every detail out of the first. And it got sickening, because it's a souless movie by itself. It's a shadow of another movie, not a remake, not a retelling, not forwarding the story either, nor its own story.

It's a shame, the Dark Side of Disney won.
>>
>>63749957
>only like 30 seconds of screen time
well, Fett was replaced correctly

she'll die in some retarded way in one of the next 2.

>>

>she'll die in some retarded way in one of the next 2.
They already threw her into the trash compactor
>>
They could at least have her fight Finn during that attack scene instead of some hilariously out-of-place generic melee stormtrooper.
>>
>>63751189

Chewie jumps her just a few seconds after that screenshot was taken. She is implied to have been thrown into a garbage compactor, but her final fate is left unclear. Will return in the next films probably...
>>
>>63749977
THEN WHY DID THEY ANNOUNCE WHO WAS PLAYING HER?

>>63749957
She had more screen time Im shure. Original SW cut was a little more than three hours. I belive she was cut out a lot.
Probably Fin interrogation after he refused to shoot, mabye her exctraction off death star-planet.

thank god, you know who plays the role, right?

Her design is MUCH more interesting than Kylo Ren's.

She's a droid.

Not much of a character, but she did help create my favourite part of the movie. Finn gleefully telling his old boss to shove it.

>I'm in charge now Phasma! I'm in charge!
>>
>>63749977
You can't force a meme, it needs to happen on accident
>>
It was disgraceful how misused she was. Phasma has the potential to be the biggest badass of this new trilogy, easily

I think the problem with TFA lies in how many characters they have. You've got 3 "main" characters, 2 sith, multiple high-ranking New Order characters, multiple Resistance characters, and Luke. They didn't have enough time to expand on all of them, and Phasma got pushed out as a result

I really hope she becomes a killing machine next film. Ruthless and efficient as fuck
>>
>>63749957
>Gets instantly rekt by Finn and Rey in her Tie Fighter
>Gets easily captured by Finn and Han
>Surrenders instantly and lowers the shields like a coward
>Is dealt with off screen, probably dead

Yeah that was fucking dumb
>>
What are her lines?
>>
Because the character was named after the horror movie Phantasm, which JJ is producing a remaster of.
>>
>>63751452

Now Just gonna wait for the R34 doujins.

I don't remember her tie fighting
>>
>>63752282
it would look so much better if Ren used the mind trick again
>>
>>63752335
She's in one of the 2 TIE fighters when they take the Falcon to escape
>>
>>63752374
Didn't they both get destroyed?
>>
>>63752416
Yeah but the central pod with her inside survives.

She's the last one they beat, when they are trying to escape her in the middle of that crashed ship. I think she disables the main guns for a minute on the Falcon
>>
Do they destroy Not Death Star by the end of the movie?
>>
>>63752469
Yes, but everyone important survives (except Han)

Phasma is as "iconic" as Boba Fett aka merch fodder for people who never even watched the movie.
