    No. but I wouldn't be surprised to see him as the Resistance equivalent in I
    No. but I wouldn't be surprised to see him be the Resistance equivalent of Phasma in IX.

    Wearing armor, blaster, retractable melee weapon.

    What was Phasma's 2nd last line to Finn in the middle of the fight? I've seen the flick 3 times and I still can't quite make it out. "You're sadflhla qlhyql ylqnla yl qy the system." It sounds cool and Christie is delivering it with menace I just flat out can't tell what she's aying.

    “You’re a (boot kick?) to the system.” I’m not actually sure.

    I like the fact that three different characters have yelled “Traitor!” at Finn now.

    "bug in the system" I believe is the line.

    Now that makes sense. I’ve seen it four times and I still didn’t know.

    This character just seems a bit of a waste to me... other than the fact she has banging armour

    This thread now covers both TFA and TLJ.

    No Gwendoline in Episode 9.

    Sad. Such a great actress, with charismatic, unique features. And they kept a bucket on her head... I'll never understand it.

    Particularly as she looked so cool on the vanity fair cover without her helmet.

    they could have done something better for her, maybe put her in finn and rose's story line of him being hunted or anything really, too bad she was wasted to be honest.

    They could have substituted her for any FO officer prior to her actual appearance (minus Captain Canady).

    She could have been the person Hux talks to while on the ship's bridge.

    She could have been the Tie pilot, with Kylo, that shoots the Raddus bridge.

    I feel like Robot Chicken will have a sketch at some point with that janitor who constantly is cleaning up areas where Phasma falls into.

    At this rate, Phasma is going to turn up again, talk big, then perhaps be thrown into a Sarlaac pit. And she survives for the next movie again.

    If anything, why not have Phasma be that trooper with the staff in TFA. I would appreciate some sense of backstory or the reason why she is "different" though because none of that is apparently shown on screen?

    I like her usage in Last Jedi, she's held back until the "Oh ^%#%!" moment of "FN-2187! So good to have you back!" It's like "Oh yah, I forgot about Phasma dahhh!!" And I loved seeing her brawl with Finn. And, yes, the line is "You're a bug in the system." Great delivery! (Once I could hear it)

    For what? To disappear in another strangely forged/forced death? In TLJ her death was a tragedy. In SoH just another death like this would become a farce/parody. Unless they give her a longer life in a post-TLJ series with more and a deeper meaning.

    Perplexing really. There is no actual reason why she couldn't have been the Jango Fett or General Grievous of this trilogy instead it's just a cool suit and waste of an interesting face. She could have at least been a diabolical duo with Hux through the movies and been angling to take his place as Hux was Ren's and Ren was Snoke's.

    She was basically Finn’s plaything. After TLJ I’m okay with the character being rested in the films. I don’t think she was outright terrible though because the part was so small. She’s not a major character in terms of screentime.

    Yeah, and it was also the massive build up of her relationship with the Hux's, Father and son in her novel that you would imagine that dynamic was going somewhere.
    Not to mention her comic book mini series.

    I mean, i've nothing against spin-offs but they were really marketed as 'Journey to the Last Jedi' material so i feel justified in my disappointment and feeling of having been had.

    I never got that before with the old EU but now i sense cynical cash grabs that lead to no payoff and it irks me a bit.

    The point was since Phasma dies in TLJ, they might as well put out extra material of her before it premieres. Since none of her origin or how she survived TFA was going to be in the movie.

    They knew fans wouldn't want to buy Phasma material after TLJ came out. So they put it out before.

    I'm pretty comfortable saying Phasma is my favorite ST character. It's technically faint praise, but not intended to be.

    Well. I've learnt my lesson then. I hope this doesn't mean they are killing Thrawn in Episode Ix....

    Haha, [face_rofl] for the Zahn-Trilogy is legends anyway, it is possible to see the old stag Thrawn with a walking cane and thick glasses waiting for his doom to come.

    That's what I was saying. It seems like a waste. She could have been the General Grievous role rather than a seemingly randomly well dressed trooper.

    There can be a whole warehouse full of Phasmas. She keeps showing up and then gets killed. The First Order just keeps replacing her. Have a Kaminoian be slaving away in the basement making more Phasmas.

    I think the character would’ve benefited greatly from having a scene where she removed her helmet.
    Perhaps in one where she conversed with Finn.
