This character had so much potential. Disney fucked it up.

What potential?

Rich Evans said it best, it's marketings fault if anything for hyping this character up so much.

If ep 7 is anything like an omage then Phasma could have been the new Boba Fett

Fett had moments in 2 movies, so maybe Phasma will get a chance to actually do something in VIII

Phasma is going to come back in VIII pissed as hell and with a personal vendetta against Finn. Just like Kylo will with Rey. The story was being set up in VII.

Jango was just boba fett, thats why he is so popular.
Or in bigger sense thats why mandalorian got popular.

This movie was shit to be honest.

It's like i'm watching a new hope being re-enacted.
NOTHING INTERESTING EVER HAPPENS
The closest to interesting was that one moment everyone is trying to spoil.
Also i'm starting to hate "the force", it's become a glorified deus ex machina.

>If ep 7 is anything like an omage then Phasma could have been the new Boba Fett

That's exactly what she was:
>looked cool
>did nothing noteworthy
>fans will fill in the blanks with head-canon and talk about her like she was greatest character in the trilogy
I hope JewJew gives her a pathetic comic relief death just like Lucas did with Fett.
>>
I know they wanted her to become the new Boba Fett or whatever, but that design is pretty lazy, the wcw put more effort in the shockmaster than this
>>
>>63936596
Worst. Setup. Ever.

>>63936121
Her voice was perfect but could've used another scene to establish her as either actually badass or as comic relief

Welcome to Star Wars, my millennial friend.

If you're going to bitch about Deus ex machine in TFA, try starting with Han and Chewie stumbling upon the Falcon, and finish with R2 powering up at the end of the movie. Literal Deus ex right there.

might seem 'lazy' but it's a simple design that's really effective
>>
>>63937537
Things that can happen due to dumb luck are fine.

But rey escaping at the not-death-star was stupid, and R2 powering up at the end with the map that only the empire had even more so, unless R2 is actually that snoke fucker and the evil mastermind.

All she needed was a scene where she does something, something other than betraying her people.

>kills someone
>any badass move
>remove helmet for a minute

Honestly, it can all be fit in a single scene.

>>63936121
And she still does, she has a bigger role in the next film.

Judge Dredd first appeared in 1977, the first year Star Wars released, but the storm troopers were already designed before that. So no.

She's slated to return in Episode 8.

You know she won't get that death you (and I) hope she gets. Tumblr would quite literally implode and take my sex blog with it.

>>63936121

Phasma and Poe were in the movie for 4 minutes total because they're teaser characters for other spinoff movies.

Abrams isn't directing the next two.

Can't believe how many retards think this still.

I assume she will be in the sequel. But year her character was pretty pointless. She was basically this movies version of Boba Fett.

Why are you bitching about this when she was not even killed off on screen?

Rey uses force persuasion which has only ever before been used by trained Jedi masters when she doesn't even know that it's a real power.

This. No one can out rank boba fett

Phasma is a DROID, you morons.

Why do you think she has no air-intake valve on her helmet, just the vox-speaker mesh? Why do you think she followed all orders given to her by humans? Why do you think she's being set up for her own spin-off series "along the likes of Boba Fett".? Why do you think she survives Ep7 and is being "fleshed out" in Ep8?

What's that? Boba Fett's fiercest competing bounty hunter was a droid called IG-88? But-but-but how can a droid be a hero?

You frigging morons are ignorant of all the information right in front of you.

And just what do you think that little recessed toggle is on the front edge of the helmet? Retard.

There's a speaker grill modulator and an intake valve. Phasma only has the speaker grill. Retard.

Self preservation. It's why 3PO was always afraid. It's also why he hid inside Luke's garage, even though he still had his restraining bolt on him. Self preservation. They follow instructions but robots like the Probe Droid and IG-88 show that some will kill on command. IG-88 was even an independent contractor who followed instructions from his employers.

It's also not beyond the realm of possibility that Phasma is in fact IG-88 (his head can be retracted into his torso). It also makes sense that Kylo Ren would trust Phasma if she's a droid. I'd laught if Phasma was IG-88, still trying to fulfill his contract to capture Han Solo... knowing that the New Order are hunting the last of the Jedi and joining up with them.

Did she escape the death star?

>the death start base thing blowing up was entirely her fault
>threaten a lifelong conditioned seasoned captain with death
>pppppp-please don't kill me
>lowers shields
such shitty fucking writing

If the next movie doesn't start with her either on the run from the empire, being executed by the empire or a secret double agent for the rebellion then tfa is even worse than I thought.
