Captain Phasma, portrayed by Gwendoline Christie. Not a new class of 'chrome' storm trooper, but a sort of 'hero' character in the RTS sense of the word. Curiouser and curiouser.

Feel like having a reflective material as your armour is not good for a battlefield.
|
Probably a status thing than a tactical thing. Then again the troopers were usually white, and only a few times actually painted on camo. And they can't shoot worth a damn anyway.
|
Remember when this movie was first announced and approximately 86% of the world was like "OMG this movie's gonna suck".
Just love bringing up stuff like that. |
lol No. It was near unanimous hype.
|
yeahhhh I don't remember anyone saying it would suck
|
yeah, the fuck are you talking about?
|
No, the only thing brought up was that Phantom Menace was so over-hyped that it couldn't deliver on.
Nobody thought this was going to suck. |
I think people were somewhat skeptical of Disney taking the reigns, but did not hear overwhelming suck-hype.
RammsteinMad, please find something to make you Rammsteinglad :) |
Star Wars Dirt Sheets:
- Andy Serkis' motion-capture character in The Force Awakens is named "Supreme Leader Snoke" - Next rumoured spin-off film may see a story/backstory with Han Solo and Boba Fett - Also rumoured is Ewan McGregor reprising his role as Obi-Wan in a possible spin-off, perhaps even his own trilogy. Set after Revenge of the Sith and featuring his adventures on Tattoine and maybe Darth Maul. - The latest issue of the canon Star Wars comic book SPOILER: show |
That's so dumb.
|
That Obi-Wan rumor has been around for over a year now. I really hope that's true, because an Obi-Wan triology would be incredible.
I don't think it's going to happen though. |
|
Looks pretty badass until you realize it's Adam Driver under that mask.
|
It stops looking badass because of something not seen in the pic?
|
Yes.
|
He doesn't really look like the scary Sith Lord type, so hopefully the mask stays on.
|
So I'm looking at the pic now and it's like... somebody thinks this isn't badass because of things not in the pic. You guys are so odd.
|
Thankfully I have no idea who that is so I find the pic to be A+ bad-ass
|
|
looks like that Neville guy on Raw
|
He looks like a 1930's cartoon.
Also, I don't think he's a Sith Lord. Thought I read somewhere he's like a Sith Archeologist or something. Like a Sith worshipper. |

Yeah, I could never get into Darth Vader either because
http://www.starwars7news.com/wp-cont...-300x1591.jpeg Come on dude... that was under the mask the whole time.... just ruined everything.... |
Your sarcasm is cute but that was before the internet. And he kept the mask on. Noone knew what he looked like underneath.
Driver will have scenes without the mask and he looks like a total dork. http://cdn.movieweb.com/img.news.top...66OgDH_1_b.jpg |

Well maybe he'll be a sneaky coniving heel. His dumb face would work just fine for that. Silver Stormtrooper will probably be the"badass" of the movie.
|
Just say you don't like his ears.
|
I don't like his ears.
But also nose. |
Have you seen Inside Llewyn Davis? He's the best in that.
|
|
I keep forgetting that people on the internet have stupid opinions that make me not want to read things

His face is lopsided...

I keep picturing that guy doing the Triple H entrance walk c. his 2008 SD! run and the whole "rotating schnozz cam" when he'd stop at the end of the ramp for some reason...

The more I see, the more I start to think Luke dies in like the first 10 minutes.
|
Is there any chance at all that Luke is actually under the black mask and not Kylo Ren
|
I'm super stoked they got PK Subban to star (ha) in the new movie
|
Quote:
People have speculated about him since we've yet to see Luke doing anything heroic or say anything especially Jedi-like. |
I've read somewhere Luke chose the Dark Side after all. Was only rumours, though.
|
It's been explored in the pre-purge extended universe a bunch. I just think the lack of Luke in preview media is curious indeed.
|
I'm hoping he doesn't die.... maybe gone missing or captured or something.... Episode VIII "Finding Skywalker"......
|
What if he's just relaxing at home the whole time eating a sandwich or doing other mundane stuff. Everybody else goes about trying to save or control the galaxy while he just wanted a vacation from all the Force drama for once in his life.
|
He had 30yrs for that mess.
|
He's probably enjoyed it so much he wants to keep at it.
|
star wars featuring john boyega like you've never seen him before
|
So I wasn't really feeling the hype for all this new Star Wars stuff, but honestly the new trailer that just released did at the very least make me want to see the movie. Still not super hyped though, and not planning to see it opening day (not that I could anyway). Am I a bad person to not be squealing like a schoolgirl over this?
|
Just when IO thought I was out. It pulls me back in!
|
NERDSSSSS!!!!!!
|
Some retards are boycotting this because there's black people in it.
|
Some retards or like 4 racist retards but the media is making it out like its a huge group of people?
|
Colbert gave his theory on the polt of the Force Awakens and I almost agree with it
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5-Ff40Xre4o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Although I like the idea of the Rebel's/Alliance becoming just as ruthless as the Empire where a victory by either side changes nothing and I suspect SPOILER: show |
|
lol yeah I read that yesterday. Good stuff.
|
Hey, so is Phasma female?
I know they cast a "chick" to portray Phasma, but I'm not sure it means anything. Christie is like 6'3. |
They will probably present her as a male at first, with a voice modulator, and then at some point she'll take off the helmet in a samus aran style big reveal.
Thatsmy guess anyway. |
I don't think they'd be so open about the casting if they wanted to pull a Metroid.
|
There would prob be "social media outrage" if Phasma is a man despite being played by a woman....
|
There'd be no reason to do something like that tho.
|
I was more thinking it's never told, never shown. Just a silver Stormtrooper who's badass.
|
They announced the casting almost as soon as she was revealed in costume. I don't think a swerve was ever in the cards. They might film her taking off the helmet in a way it's a swerve to the characters in the scene but they're comfortable letting us know she's a chick.
|
|
|
lol
|
I read about this the other day - that ONE particular seller is the ONLY one who is claiming that on that particular item. Whether or not it's true, at this point I'd say it's speculation intended to artificially create an additional buzz around what they are selling.
|
Regardless, I will not click that spoiler....

That's not racism. Lando just happens to be the only black guy in the galaxy.

Yeah, it's pretty much science.

Tickets booked for December 19th. #GoldClass
|
Whoa damn.... just read Vader Down #1..... badass....
|
Just booked my flight to a Galaxy far far away. December 18 in Real3D. Get ready for hyperactive. We've gone to plaid!
|
Film's already made $50 million from early advance sales according to reports. Ended up breaking the previous record held by the first Hunger Games film.

Just back from it now. It's brilliant. It's Star Wars in a way the prequels never were. Hits all the right spots. Echos back to the originals brilliantly without screaming in your face about it. There's only one lime that's a bit too on the nose in a "nudge nudge, wink wink, remember this from the originals?".
There's still plenty left open to be revealed in future films too. Daisy Ridley is so fit. I love her. |
so supposedly daniel craig has a cameo as a stormtrooper, delivering a line during rey's interrogation (that's not really a spoiler, is it)
|
Heh, I hadn't heard that. I did just read before that Simon Pegg's in it too. Their roles are akin to that of Nathan Fillion's cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy.
|
Kylo Ren is a brilliant villain by the way. I can see some people not liking certain aspects of his character, but I thought he was really well done.
|
Will write up a big post tomorrow full of spoilers on my thoughts on the film.
|
Thought this was out tomorrow, but my theater is playing it. Gonna see it in another hour or so.
|
Quote:
it was pegg who outed craig, craig denied at first, but turns out he was in it after all, according to EW so i dunno, if you're gonna see him, pay attention to the interrogation scene and maybe you'll recognize his voice or something |
JJ Abrams buddy Fat Greg Grunberg is of course given a part too. One of my friends who didn't know who he was actually asked me afterwards if he was a fan who won a competition to get a part in the film.
|
Incredible movie. Spoiler stuff here because I know people will stupidly open thread without seeing movie yet.
SPOILER: show Less spoilery: Daisy Ridley is beautiful. I thought she was perfect in the role. Loved every moment she was on-screen. |
SPOILER: show |
|
yo, got super lucky. Tickets all sold out when I got there. Was walking away when a chick I know recognized me and called me over. One of their friends flaked on them so they had an extra ticket. Saw this shit for free, son!
SPOILER: show |
I liked it more than all the others besides A New Hope.
|
I liked Kylo Ren turning out to not be an invincible machine of a villain like Vader was. It separates his character a bit. He's a young, evil little shit who idolises Vader, but while he can be vicious, he's not quite there yet in terms of his ability, fear factor or even his mentality. There's room for his character to grow into a sinister bastard whose confusion at being pulled from both sides of the force makes him quite unstable. I can see him getting some stick for the tantrums he had but I actually really liked that side to his character.
General Hux chewed the scenery in every scene he was in but he was a pretty great cocksure counterpart to Ren. Crazy that C-3PO probably got the biggest laugh out of me. |
To expand on Fignuts' first paragraph: are we certain that Finn isn't as well? I mean, his upbringing suggests it's a complete longshot but he wasn't exactly useless wielding the lightsabre. Could just be a general proficiency with weapons though. One thing I was super hoping to happen even if it would've just been total fan-service and not necessary would be when Finn was running around with that Storm Trooper blaster/taser thing in one hand and the lightsabre in the other, would've been bad-ass to see him dual-wielding a blaster in one and sword in the other and just going to town. Whatevs though.
OH and speaking of Ren's tantrums, that scene where the two Storm Troopers nope right out of the hallway was fucking brilliant. I love Kylo Ren. Think he could potentially be a better villain than Vader. Yeah, come at me. |
Finn could be, but I would attribute his proficiency with the saber solely to melee training. I mean we see that stormtroopers obviously have that in these movies.
|
Yeah, I think that's more likely than anything. Would be cool if maybe once Luke is brought back into the fold if he restarts the Jedi Academy or whatever, then he trained Finn maybe. I do like the idea of having non-force-using main characters though (though I guess Poe fills that role nicely)

I'm going today! Not reading jack shit in this thread. Just came to share. And squee. Mostly, squee.
