What was the point of this bitch? She did absolutely nothing in the film except commit the highest treason possible and get her own faction slaughtered. I really hope she wasn't intended to be a strong female character.
b8 and switch for the Boba groupies

To sell toys
They were going to have her fight Finn with the spinning club, but they made it a normal stormtrooper to sell more toys.
baits liberal women and white knights
baits nerds into buying toys
>>64371928
She was there to show that women can be storm troopers tooooo!
>>64371928
>Runs into Han and crew
>Immediately gives in to their demands
>Wasn't willing to even try and fight or possibly die for her faction
shittier character than jar jar
>>64371928
She is a unisex character they gave to a woman because women don't usually get roles for unisex characters. That's better than stronk independent womyn types.
>>64371928
She was an awesome character design and the toys sold very very well. She was the first one I got last September during Force Friday.
>>64371928
boba fetts daughter.
she survived and will most likely take the place of bounty hunter (hunting luke/rey/finn). pretty fucking obvious retards
>>64372047
That makes no sense.
They would sell more toys by making her a stronger character.
>>64372230
Kids don't care about characters, they care about toys that look cool
>>64372047
Why would anyone want to buy a traitor/coward's toy?
>>64371928
She was a completely useless character that looks cool, just like Boba Fett. And just like Boba, she's going to continue to be useless for the next two movies then die unceremoniously, yet the fans will continue to call her one of the coolest characters.
>>64371928
There is a 100% chance she survived the "trash compactor" and will return in the next movie
Also she will have a 1 on 1 duel with Finn, probably involving some of those gunblade type things like the one stormtrooper was swinging around in TFA. You read it here first folks.
>>64371928
Sell toys.
>>64371928
seriously though.
>finally get a strong female badguy who looks pretty badass and doesnt take anyones shit
>manages to single handedly fuck up everything the first order had worked for
>never send a woman to do a mans job
>>64372230
Everyone bought toys on Force friday in September so no one knew anything about her except shiny armor. By the time the movie came out she was a toy for months.
>>64372179
>She was an awesome character design
She's just a stormtrooper painted chrome. Are people still impressed by chrome?
>>64372395
Triggered.
>>64371928
To show how awesome TR-8R is.
>>64372418
Wrong, she also has a cape
So the analogy goes; the first order was the Germans and the resistance/new republic was the English and Americans, that makes Captain Phasma Italy.
>>64372418
I'd say they are, samsung is still selling plenty of phones.
It's the same threads over and over and over and-
>>64372261
Yeah I'm kind of torn on that one, I'd wager Phasma being female would make her less marketable to young males and I can't imagine girls playing with a toy figurine that looks like that...
Fact is star wars made the majority of it's merchandising money from young males not young females (no female bashing, it's just they way it is, what young girl wants to play with star wars toys?)
>>64371928
She will be in the sequel, has already been confirmed. I assume she will have some kind of rivalry with Finn.

I think she was suppose to be this guy.
>>64372179
>She was the first one I got last September during Force Friday
So much cringe in one sentence
>>64372940
This is why the older seasons of Simpsons where great, I can find screen caps/scenes that some up so much of the shit that is going on in the current day it's scary
>>64372910
She's a big girl
>>64373087
THATS A HUGE BITCH
would have made sense if she was that character, and had a duel with Finn. only to be incapacitated, to show up later in the film like she did
>>64373219
Would be cool if it went as far as to show her actually taking the blaster shot and later continuing her duties despite her injury.
Really underutilized character.
>>64373219
>>64373321
You plebs realize this character is being used the same way Bobba Fett was in the original trilogy right?
They are trying to re-create the marketing appeal that Boba Fett had which was huge for such a minor character by using them sparinginly and trying to keep that cool mysterious factor about them
>>64373429
But they failed miserably
Boba Fett is cool because his armor is cool. He just fucking looks cool. This bitch is literally just a stormtrooper with a shiny paintjob and a cape. They couldn't think of an original character design so they just spray painted a set of armor chrome and latched a blanket around her neck.
>>64373429
That's dumb because Boba Fett is dumb and nobody can pinpoint what made him someplace outside of neat armor. Phasma is just a chrome stormtrooper with a cape. Instead of trying to tap in to whatever hebrew spellcasting made Fett popular, they should have actually written a good character and let the fandom patch on to that.
Now all we have are baton memes when they could have had Phasma baton memes, or "GETS SHOT - CARRIES ON" impact text over Phasma fan art.
>>64371928
to sell more action figures?
>>64373087
stupid fucking cunt!
>>64372910
Is it hotter to dominate Captain Phasma, or be dominated by her?
>>64373540
Besides looking cool he talked back to vader
>>64373768
He's also a mercenary. A masked man.
>>64373757
Kill yourself.
>>64372831
>I'd wager Phasma being female would make her less marketable to young males
She did quite clearly have a female voice though.
>>64373540
>But they failed miserably
>Boba Fett is cool because his armor is cool
Agreed I think the key to Boba Fett's popularity was he was just a cool looking, mysterious bad ass, no crappy back story and hardly any dialogue to ruin his character(talking original trilogy, not prequels)
>>64373598
>That's dumb because Boba Fett is dumb
Boba Fett was one of the most popular action figures ever making millions in merchandising, the whole reason why Disney brought Star wars.
It's not really so much the character that was important, it was who played it - in this case, that tall bitch from GOT.
JJ added Phasma as an afterthought, something along the lines of "hmm, OK, well, we've got a female lead, a black love interest, how else can I cuck these whitebois even more... ah, I know, I'll make the guy who is supposed to be analogous to Boba Fett a female! Cha-ching!"
>>64373540
She also fucked the bad guys without putting up a fight then got literally thrown in the trash.
she's just as cool as boba fett
