What the fuck happened here? Why did they even bother to cast her? She has like a handful of lines, she's barely in any scene except as some sort of taskmaster. I have a feeling she had a lot of footage shot but got fucked in editing by somebody. She's basically a nonentity in this movie, and now she's dead. If they bring her back it will be some real deus ex bullshit.

So seriously, what the fuck?
>>
>>63809299
obviously they're setting her up to appear in the sequel.
you really think they'd go through the trouble of making a unique stormtrooper only to kill them off in the first movie for the sake of a continuity joke?
>>
>>63809299
She's in Episode VIII

>>63809299
Phasma is definitely not dead. She is JJ Abrams boba fett.

So what's the explanation? She got tossed in a garbage chute a couple hours before the whole base imploded.
>>
>>63809403
Did you see her get tossed in a garbage chute?
>>
>>63809403
Did they show her dying?
No, then she's alive. Cinema 101
>>
>>63809403
she used her commlink to get someone to let her out?

I think han and solo tossed something in her garbage shoot.

Look guys, strong woman storm trooper!

Jk. She has two lines and surrenders only to get thrown in a trash compactor. So progressive
>>
She did nothing the whole movie besides be incompetent
>not recognize insubordination ad desertion in your own ranks when it's your job
>know there's a soldier in your unit that's unfit to serve and tell him to get psychologically reevaluated. Just leave him alone unsupervised after that
>get captured by the only 3 hostile so on something the size of a fucking planet
>immediately fold under pressure and give up your sides one advantage without a fight
This is why women shouldn't serve in the military.

Jesus christ why was she even advertised?
>>
I remember when female characters weren't automatically "the enemy" in every fat virgin's eyes. Just imagine how Leia would have gone over if the OT were released in this age.

just like real life

She needed to be there so Finn could rightfully toss her evil ass into the trash. It sets up their rivalry. Expect those two to have a huge fight in Episode 9.

I'm guessing she is the new Fett.
Looks like an interesting character but doesn't really do much.

This guy is literally just trailer fodder.

Handicapped himself even (not like he had an advantage in the first place)

The Stormtrooper that went full HAM on Finn felt like more of a threat than Phasma.

It's a feature-length film, not a TV show, they can't really spare fan-service screen time for each and every character. It's just that it was such a huge, visible production that they had access to big-meme actors even for small roles. Daniel Craig played the stormtrooper who gets Jedi Mind Tricked by Rey and releases her.

haaha that's actually funny

Who else had these little ass cameos?
I like that the core of the movie is full of new actors tho

Imagine this: much like Kylo Ren is Rey's rival, this fucker could have been Finn's rival. Over the course of three movies their rivalry could have been developed. Why was this one guy so fucking furious at Finn? How many of his friends were killed by Finn's betrayal? Who was he? What was his background, was he possibly already a soldier before becoming a storm trooper? Why was he so well trained despite being dressed like a common grunt?

He's defeated, but only left for dead. He survives and comes back in the next film. He's even gotten a promotion and has one of those shoulder things or some other identifying symbol to mark him as above a regular rank and file stormtrooper. We get a bit more of an explanation of why he hates Finn so badly. Maybe they even knew each other at one point. He still trounces Finn, but circumstances force him to retreat.

He comes back in the final film, promoted to Captain or some other high rank. The guy has become completely obsessed with killing Finn. He feels like he has to; he can still see the faces of his dead comrades leering at him out of the dark when he shuts his eyes. Maybe he even starts keeping a tally on his armor of all the fellow stormtroopers that have died because of Finn. By the time they have a proper rematch, Finn has gotten better. They're on equal terms now. But Finn doesn't try to be a Jedi--he fights his former comrade like a proper soldier in a pitched gun fight taking place over a wide area. Lots of cover usage, occasional brutal melees and grapples. By the end of it the helmet is off and they're exhausted and just fucking beating the shit out of each other with their bare hands while staggering and trying to stay upright.

Or something like that, fuck me, I don't know, there was potential to do something cool with this instead of having it be a one-off.
>>
She will be used in the sequels - probably hunting down Rey and Co. to make up for her failure.

Why was she so quick to surrender though? One would think a loyal, high-ranking trooper would rather die than betray the empire.
>>
>>63809403

Kylo Ren got his face sliced and fell on his back like a bitch a couple of minutes before the whole base imploded

I doubt he's dead
>>
>>63811058
She's a woman.
>>
If it isn't shown on screen, they ain't dead.
>>
>>63810930

The long-haired bad guy from The Raid movies led one of the gangs that confronts Han and gets eaten by aliens. I was really hoping they'd give him a fight scene, but nope.

Phasma was all flash and no substance, this guy had balls of solid fucking tungsten.
>>
I knew the moment I first saw Phasma that she'd be Boba Fett 2.0. A joke in the movie there to be merchandised because she looks cool.
>>
>>63810106

That's the whole reason I liked him, he's not a badass, he's just caught in the middle of shit trying to do the right thing. Like Frodo.
>>
>>63811318
From the moment that Finn and Phasma shared spoken dialogue and even a joke, I knew that Phasma was gonna get the BBC. She's going to be his love interest. And it will be one of the big twists in the next one
>>
>>63811262
there was a scene where they fight Rey, but it was cut
>>
>>63810862
not in the movies aka what most people care about
>>
>>63811435

I figured it was something like that, it seemed weird to cast that guy and not let him beat anyone up
>>
>>63809299
Doubtful she's dead. She'll probably have a bigger role in the next movie. They had to establish all the protagonists and set up Kylo Ren as the major antagonist. We'll probably see more of Phasma, the General, and Snoke in the next one
>>
>>63811394
>She's going to be his love interest.
Actually, that MIGHT explain why she put the shields down...
>>
>>63811342
but to be fair, he did a lot of crucial shit
>>
>>63809672
All the phasma sex scenes were cut and remain in jjs mystery box
>>
>>63811537
But not why Finn gets so pumped about being in charge of her.
>>
>>63811000
Nah, the casting is asking for two new females for major roles who can play between 20 - 35 and there have reputedly been doing chemistry tests with Boyega.
>>
>>63810193
Kylo was a sensitive little poser, ofc TRAITORtrooper could beat him
>>
>>63811057
He was probably just brainwashed by the first order because they want the first order to be as good as the empire, so to punish all disobedient troopers
>>
>>63811681

That's boring and leaves no room for interesting drama, so it's probably the correct explanation.
>>
>>63811641

How did Luke's lightsaber change from Green to Blue?
>>
>>63811057
He takes the helmet off to reveal...Finn was the other trooper.

The grim reality is that Snook has used a clone army, but this time uses multiple dna sources. Turns out the FN stock got terminated because effects Finns actions, that's why he wants to hunt town traitor.

Just because she might have feelings for him doesn't mean he knew it. He could just think she is a rude boss.
