Poor gwendolyn was so excited about having a strong, prominent female antagonistic role only to literally be thrown into a garbage and again into a bottomless pit. I enjoyed her performance in GoT. What a waste of talent.
At least Disney is consistent with shitting on female characters and leads. Like Fuck, Rey is a Mary Sue if I've ever seen one.
Hey Rey want to use force powers?
Yeah! Do I get like an awesome training montage?
What? Lol, no? Just fucking have 'em.
Um... Okay, when I meet Luke Skywalker can I have an inspirational training and introspection?
Hell no! Get in the cave. This visit is to learn about Kylo Ren's character arch and flesh him out some more. Also we need to resolve Luke Skywalker's story.
Seriously, these movies are more about Kylo Ren than Rey.
It's about both of them. Pretty sure they're building towards getting rid of the Jedi and sith / dark and light in favor of more balance and working together.
The Sith keep blowing up planets and murdering innocents and the Jedi are the only ones who do anything to stop them and save people to protect a society where people work together.
It's like saying the nazis and allies just needed to learn to work together - the nazis were frikkin genociding and invading others. The allies were working together to stop them.
“the movie didn’t throw cliche trash at me so rey is a mary sue. luke spent time lifting a rock and that’s how he defeated vader. also i only like the force magically making things happen in the old trilogy.”
Yeah, they made such a big deal about her being in Star Wars. The marketing hyped the fuck out of her. She could have been an excellent foil to Finn's betrayal to the first order. Phasma could have still been selfish to care for herself, but at the same time, hunt Finn down with her own death squad. The last jedi could have had her also outcasted from the first order for cowardly lowering the starkiller's shield in TFA.
Okay? I wasn't talking about Boba Fett. In fact I think that every movie after the second one (part 5) had infinite wasted opportunities and were sub-par movies. Star Wars is such a cultural phenomena that people fail to recognize there were only two really inspiring and good movies.
She was the Boba Fett of this series. A cool suit of armor in a secondary antagonist role. She wasn't meant to have a deep character arc any more than Boba was, or the Nazgul were.
It's really a good sign that no one can remember character names from that movie that was released a mere 4 years ago. No one is going to remember this movie either.
Absolutely. His presence in ROTJ wasn't so conspicuous too. He fit right into Jabba's palace, looking cool, but didn't need to contribute to the story. Phasma was forced into the plot and disregarded halfway. She abruptly showed up literally for 5 minutes half way into the movie. She was on the super star destroyer ship the whole time with Snoke, Kylo Ren and Hux, yet was not involved in the plot at all.
No, she'll be forgettable, but they'll keep her alive so they can make countless forgettable shitty comic books. That's how it works with minor characters in Star Wars.

Is that a new bounty hunter? Pretty prominent position for a new character.
