Why did I feel like Captain Phasma did absolutely nothing to contribute to the film? I was expecting some cool shit from her. Phasma's big shining moment was when she retracted the shields on the mega death star.

Damn did she even shoot her gun?
>>
>>63869162
She will kill Luke
Cap this

>We're going for a Boba Fett type character

>expecting huge badass in cool armor

>get asshole who says 3 lines and literally gets thrown into the garbage off screen

bravo J.J., all this time it was just a diss against boba fett

I was expecting at least her armor to have some exotic abilities anyway. Bob Fetts armor could fly and had Lasso guns. She was a disappoint

Episode VII: The Garbage Chute Strikes Back

We would have lost TR8R, but yeah I agree with the general oponion that it would have much more sense for Phasma to be the one who kicked Finn's ass on Takodana(?)
>>
>>63869252
not sure how she could even be accepted back, she was responsible for the destruction of an unbelievable amount of resources, she's fucking useless already
>>
>>63869330
She cold have rushed to the landing bay Finn was trying to escape from and fired her big gun at the fleeing tie fighter thus being the reason for it to tumble damaged back to he planet.
>>
>>63869221
but...that's exactly what boba fett was like in V and VI

If this had originally being Cucumbersnatch would the character have been any different?

yeah, that was the point of my post jackass

they casted her to get got fans to see the movie

This. That's why she was up there with the actual cast when promoting the movie.
>>
>>63869252

Yeah, that was incredibly retarded.
It's like, at a bare minimum Kylo is going to kill you later when he finds out. So you can die gloriously in battle and let your side win, or you betray your people and get killed anyway.

Captain Phasma was thrown in the trash. She also sold a lot of toys and made feminists really happy. Other than that no she didn't do anything.

Think about what Fett did:

>told not to disintegrate people
>hid in some space trash
>acted as a transporter for frozen Han
>got knocked into a giant desert anus with teeth

It was the fans and other media that brought him fame and badassness, not anything in the movies.
>>
>>63871080
All of that gave him character and amounts to much more than what Phasma did.
All Phasma did was stand behind hitler, threaten Finn and blow up her own base.
Thes hardly anything there to give fans a reason to even begin liking her.
She wasnt even seen in the ground combat for crying out loud.
The tonfa trooper had more going to him in one scene than Phasma did in all the movie. Fuck I think he even had more screentime than her.
>>
>>63869162
>Why did I feel

Becuase she had two scenes Anon.
>>
>>63872213
She apeared behind the speaker in that third reich scene during the planet cannon firing.
But I wouldnt blame you for forgetting she was there.
>>
>>63872165
>All of that gave him character and amounts to much more than what Phasma did.
Agreed. Over three movies, Fett has done more than Phasma. So how much did Fett do in ONE movie? Oh wait, he wasn't even in the first movie until Lucas reworked them with a hatchet.

>stand behind hitler
>establish social relationship

>threaten Finn
>establish personal relationship

>blow up her own base
>establish character issues and motive to return

Give the character some time. There will be a LOT more in extended media between movies. At least wait until the second to make a judgement. And yes, at this point I'm just shilling a character with no screentime and too much commercialization.
>>
>>63872909
I disagree with all those things. None of them felt as substancial as you make them out to be.
Im willing to give her the benefit of the doubt till the third film but her initial performace is pretty lackluster.
>>
>>63873166
But so was Boba Fett. I'd bet Phasma already has 50% of the screen time Boba Fett got. The difference so far is that Fett was more involved in the central plotline. My guess is Phasma will play a larger part of the next movie, as she comes after Finn. Meanwhile Rey will have Luke and Ren shit to deal with somewhere else.
>>
ITT: butthurt phasmafags who were drawn to characters solely for looks

I feel the same way about Finn.

Actually, star wars happened long ago. If anything, there should be fewer women in it, right?

>yfw they reveal its a tranny in 8
>>
>>63873259
Don't worry she survives to at least Ep. IX, she's already been confirmed to be in VIII and IX.
>>
>>63873642
Well it's not like her armor is going to stop a blaster to the skull. Just because it's Chrome doesn't mean it's better.
>>
>>63873642
Yeah... she wasnt willing to die to prevent EVERYONE getting blown up


In fact she should be dead after getting tossed in the compactor but of course they dont show it abd shell get out. Like po
What the fuck is it with this movie abd not showing us things like the tie fighter crash landing
>>
>>63873642
>>63873696
I thought she didn't try to resist because fucking Chewie was there. Wookie's could pull arms out of sockets and I doubt she wants robotic replacements.
>>
Imagine if Phasma had been the trooper to challenge Finn to that melee fight.

>Wants revenge on deserter stormtrooper
>Actually knows him and has reason to call him traitor
>Disciplining her insubordinate
>Isn't just a random trooper who for some reason has the melee weapon when literally no other troopers have one
>Gives Phasma more to do

It would save both a character and a scene from the pointless shit that was that moment.
>>
>>63873729
>but of course they dont show it abd shell get out

>mfw they will have Han somehow survive the fall

Just wait for the extended edition, they'll add like 10 minutes of phasma, and the other alien that was cut.

>Phasma the slave owner whipping a runaway slave

Her and Finn hook up in the next film.
>>
>>63873865
Anyone know what was cut?
>>
>>63869162

I just don't get it, /tv/. The First Order would have won everything in this movie by a landslide if it weren't for TWO, just TWO people from defecting.

How do you go from being raised your entire life in a clearly fascist regime's military, to saying "fuck this" and killing like 100 of your own guys after just ONE mission.

Furthermore, why the fuck did Phasma, who's like one of the highest ranking fucking people in the First Order, just comply with Finn's demands? It doesn't make any sense. Surely all these people take oaths to give their life for the First Order? And if they're indoctrinated from birth why the FUCK would they do otherwise?

Stupid af
>>
>>63873730
A Lightsaber and Blaster are not the same thing. There is lightsaber resistant armor that isn't blaster resistant. A lot of old Mandalorian armor is like that.
>>63873755
Either way, it's not like she could do anything without getting severely injured.
>>
Traitor trooper was based epic win for the win!
>>
>>63873946
Stuff with Mahz was cut because they didn't like her face mo-cap and some stuff at the end with Luke was cut, specifically Luke talking to someone before Rey shows up and his little dialogue of "My father has it, I have it, and you have it." to Rey.
>>

except Boba Fett

>helped tracking Han Solo to Bespin when the Empire had lost track of him

He needed to mind his surroundings.
>>
She's just a recolored stormtrooper with accessories. She was literally inserted into the movie so that they could cheaply refurbish a stormtrooper action figure and force collectors to spend even more money.
>>
>>63874189
He's a Bounty Hunter, should have been paying attention to what was going on around him.

Phasma minded her surroundings and look what happens, she lived.
>>
>>63873556

I really like the idea of her being a recurring joke character. It really drives home the ongoing theme of Star Wars being about true power on the inside and not on the outside.
>>
>>63874377
Well she is a Stormtrooper. I hope we get more Stormtroopers just being like "Kylo is mad again, ya know what, lets go this way."
>>
>>63869162

The only way for her to come back in the next movie in a way that wont annoy me is if shes being punished and she goes rogue or something.
If she gets sentenced to death and then runs away and then becomes the bad ass shes supposed to be then it will totally redeem her uselessness

The moment I saw that in the trailer I pretty much lost all serious interest in the movie, I could no thought was given to the plot beyond it being a vague link between action set pieces.

If you don't think GOT fans (i.e. people who slavishly follow what is popular regardless of its quality) weren't going to see TFA regardless of Brienne being in it or not, you failed your sociology class in high school. (Not that TFA wasn't an awesome film and worthy of the hype)

It's obvious she's built up to return in the 2nd movie as a means to bring up conflict with Finn's past. The two will be on opposing sides and it will end with strong sexual tension where she defects to the Resistance with him in the 3rd movie.
