InfestedAdam 05/18/17 7:47:49 PM #6:	Captain Phasma in my opinion. It still bothers me that she ~~willingly turned off the shield, all from that one console, and put the entire planet into danger to save her own life. Hell, she probably blew up inside the trash compactor.~~ Poe though I felt contributed more to the overall movie and story and actually demonstrated why he was Black Leader with his performance. I do not doubt Phasma capabilities but the movie didn't allow us to see why she has that rank. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!

NightMareBunny 05/18/17 10:33:52 PM #17:	this is what the writer said briefly about the phasma mini series "Kelly Thompson: “It’s exciting enough when someone lets you contribute to the Star Wars universe in any real way, but when they let you create the first ever Phasma story for comics? Well, that’s about as good as it gets! Like most, I’m a huge fan of both Gwendoline Christie and Phasma. Christie is magnetic and Phasma has so much fascinating untapped potential…potential which I can’t wait to help unlock for fans in our comic.” “I’ve been a fan of Marco Checchetto’s work for a long time. We actually almost got to work on something together once before and it didn’t work out, so I’m really excited that everything came together this time. And his work on Star Wars: Shattered Empire was some truly exceptional comics, and I’m so excited about what he’s bringing to Phasma.”" --- PSN: VV_Argost XB1:GamerClawdeen WiiU: GothicNightmare <cite>NightMareBunny posted [p:879379390] in Which New ...

ParanoidObsessive 05/19/17 2:55:20 AM #19:	Poe was originally supposed to die (in the crash in the desert, exactly when Finn thinks he does), but test audiences actually liked the character enough for them to write in a scene where he pops up and reveals that - SURPRISE! - he actually survived. That's part of why his presence in the film is actually a bit weak - he wasn't supposed to be in most of it. But the positive reaction to him almost certainly means we'll see a strongly beefed-up role for him in the next two movies. So while his relevance to the plot is weak in Force Awakens, it probably won't stay that way, and the end result will seem like Force Awakens was just setting up his character for later. Phasma existed solely to squeeze another female character into the mix and have her wear armor just different enough to potentially sell more toys. She's also sort of screwed by being the character who is blatantly meant to take the Vader role in the narrative, but she gets overshadowed by Kylo, meaning she's utterly superfluous. She's also supposed to appear in the next two movies (or at least the next one), but honestly, I'm not sure anyone would notice or care if she didn't. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:879390525] in Which New ...
