No, he's just "First Order Riot Control Stormtrooper". Still amusing that they chose to single out this particular stormtrooper and package him together with Oscar Isaac, though. It's like they were going for the /tv/ audience.

I predict we will get some proper background on TR-8R in the new expanded universe very, very soon.

Disney, with their theme park shows etc, have done a lot to show the Empire as goofy even before they purchased the property. That's actually what makes First Order annoying as villains. It was easy to imagine that most of the day to day Empire was just regular people doing their jobs, and the most imposing/discomforting thing about them was that their ships were spartan and clean compared to the grimy look of most the universe. It's SUPPOSED to be cold and uncomfortable, but ultra-clean futuristic interiors is generally what part of sci-fi fandom loves (especially people who love old Disney "in the future..." stuff, which is always spotless.)

The worst thing the Empire does is blow up a planet for some leverage. FO one-ups that and has an incredibly uncomfortable pep rally that draws obvious /pol/ parallels. Good luck making something charming out of that.

This picture always makes me laugh, but in case people make wild assumptions based off of it - this isn't the "real" Boba. The true Boba actor used during the original filming of the movies in the 80s was Jeremy Bulloch, who looks much better in costume on set. The actor in the above pic is a stand-in used for the shooting of additional scenes for the Return of the Jedi special editions in the 90s.

Fun fact: Jeremy Bulloch apparently hates the fact that Lucas had his character chat up a random twi'lek in the new scenes, as he thought this was grossly out of character for Boba Fett.

>>64388797

It is a bit funny, considering that Boba Fett is such a one-note, non-dynamic character in the movies themselves that it's anyone's guess what he'd actually do in that situation.

Of course, most fans would probably side with Bulloch over Lucas - but that's Star Wars fans for you.

I heavily doubt it. Phasma was the calculated choice, and it didn't work after people saw the movie. It's what happens in you try to preplan randomness.

Hi 4chan!
>>
>>64389506
A subreddit dedicated to a riot geared Stormtrooper dubbed TR-8R that makes a short appeance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He is known for calling one of the main protagonists (who had previously served as a Stormtrooper, before helping the opposing force, the Resistance) a "TRAITOR!" and proceeded to fight him. Here we commemorate his loyalty to the First Order.

edit: Wow, who gifted 4chan gold? :^)

First anon is correct. It was apparent from initial reactions that people would buy the Captain Phasma toy on looks alone. Why waste a "starmaking" scene on a character that's already a done deal in terms of merchandising when they could instead use it to make a non-character popular? They get two new hot toys for the price of one, all without having to write one whole character with a proper story.
>>
>>64387409
Why is he even called TR-8R?

This implies that HE is the traitor, when he is the one calling Finn the traitor. If anything Finn is TR-8R

I tend I agree. The audience already is introduced to Plasma
She has a reason dislike Finn (he was insubordinate and a traitor). She could then beat him up and Finn escapes

Then it would make their next meeting on Super Death Star more meaningful (because now Finn has upper hand)

Kind of lazy writing tb100%h , the entire film smacks of first draft

Not surprising

The best side characters are the ones that could jusy keep their head down and ignore the heroes antics but instead out of obligation throw themselves into the mess

Like in Raiders how the burly shirtless nazi could have jusy chilled in his warm desert cabin but instead challenges indy mano a mano to fisty cuffs just like how TR-8R could have ran off on his way but instead thru conviction goes head to head with a lightsaber weilder

Well done, faggots, I hope you're all fucking proud of yourselves. Because you redditor fucks are more interested in forcing memes than talking about movies, you've made this shitty character from an even shittier film achieve some notoriety, and maybe even make the clowns who came up with this garbage think they've done something good.

the character literally did not make any sense and only appeals to the mass autism of the random no name edgelord.

The stormtrooper makes no sense why he would have some arm taser shield specifically able to deflect light sabers just in case 1 might be around.

I don't understand the bizarre twists of logic you've leapt through to come to the conclusion that you think anyone in this thread is somehow "sticking it to" Abrams by liking a character. Seriously, is your brain wired wrong or something? It sounds a LOT more like you're projecting your own insecurities on this thread about somehow being triggered by a space adventure action flick.

I can just imagine JJ steaming with passive aggressive beta anger at people realizing all his characterization was so garbage in the move a little flair dialogue in a random fight in the movie actually created a more likable character with better traits than the protags

How can he be one-dimensional when he's the ultimate badass, but also has to follow Tarkin's orders, and is revealed as a horribly injured old guy being kept alive by machinery?

Solo's "I know" came from Ford, not Lucas

Actors sometimes undestand their characters better than the "creators"
>>
>>64388923
With such a minor character as Boba Fett though, I think the actor would know more about the character than the director would.

A good director doesn't tell his actors how to act. He gives the actor their motivation and then lets them act. With a character like Boba Fett who was written with such little personality, the actor would pretty much have to create the character himself.

I don't think it's even his weapon that made people like him.

It's the fact that he's holding a blaster and a riot shield, tosses both of them to the ground, and then pulls out a stun baton so he can have a 1-on-1 duel with the traitor, who for all he knows could be a Jedi now.
