    This pic was called Cylonesque as well:

    I even saw a gif of it with the red moving glow - can't recall where though.

    I wish capes were back in fashion today. I just wanna swan around in a cape and not be judged for it.

    Am I seeing things, or are blaster hits on the cheek areas of that helmet highly likely to skid up into the eyepieces?

    I've known several people that want to do that. We should all, like, get together and make it a thing*.

    Viva la cape revolution!

    There's never a Doctor when you need one... he did it for bow-ties, why won't he come out and declare how capes are cool?
    *by "a thing" I of course mean "have everybody take the collective mick out of us all" because society just refuses to wake up to the awesomeness that is cloaks. [​IMG]

    I hope we get a new alien character as one of the main cast in episode 8.

    She really needs to say, either "by your command" or "are you alive?" in episode 7.

    Or have centurions as her immediate subordinates:

    "Speak, Centurion." :D

    We still don't know what Serkis's role will be. Maybe?

    Maybe it's a Meaningful name - phasmatos - a Latin word - can mean - spirit, ghost, phantom, something along those lines.

    Lending extra punniness to "The Phasma Menace".

    What? Can't be.

    Next you'll say that having someone climb on a real non-CGI starfighter prop happened in the prequels, too.

    Costumes are a bit weird. Apart from the fairly obvious "costume designer played TOR" ones, a bit Dune-esque, I'd say. They remind me of the New English Library edition covers:

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I don't appreciate a roomful of new alien extras, though. A pair of identically dressed Rodians is an absolute must. And what kind of a crime lord lair doesn't have Gamorreans?

    Still got my fingers crossed for her being Luke's secret daughter and "woman on the inside" of the Empire/First Order.

    Kylo will be about to strike the final blow against Rey/Finn/Luke/Whoever and then VRRRRRRRMMMMM*ccrackleclash*lensflare*cracckleVrrryyymm HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!

    Kylo: What!? Phasma!?

    Phasma: The name's Skywalker.

    Kylo: No, that's not true! That's impossibruuu!

    Phasma: You'll find I'm full of surprises.

    Kylo: But I loved you!

    Phasma: I know.

    Luke: trollololol.

    Han: ... I am not okay with this.

    Ulicus you have just ruined TFU for me, because nothing JJ does can possibly beat that.

    So what was the final extra character reveal that was supposed to get emailed to people at 4 PM EST? Or was that Phasma?

    Don't get me wrong, I love Phasma's ensemble -- especially the cape, which Uli rightly praises. It's just unfortunate that her name is so awful that Chrometrooper sounded more plausible. :p

    Would it really be Star Wars without an awful name? :p

    Is that a Utai from Utapau in that group? Plus I swear I see a Baragwin as well.

    Anyone agree?

    1930's telegraphed and asked to give back their sci-fi name, that JJ Abrams had borrowed for his movie. Guess the name!!!

    Dr. Steve Brule No, the Chrometrooper was part of the original article as far as I can tell. I don't think that last one drops until tomorrow at some point. My guess: Whoever Max Von Sydow is playing.

    It's possible they let the Rebels CGI team fill in the backgrounds with dozens of Ithorians and Rodians in post-production. Maz Kanata might have two thousand Weequay crawling all over her castle we just don't see in that shot.
