Wow, I had no idea Brienne of Tarth was in the last movie. lol
Hope they show her without the mask this time.

Vanity Fair debuts four The Last Jedi covers
- Thread starter Rootbeer
- Start date
It's not really that strange though. A lot of shit happened between when we last saw Phasma and when the place exploded.
A little strange, with no other context, IMO. Not a huge deal though

Man, this shit is so fucking vapid. Ren will be intimidating based on his actions, not his look.
Hitler was a midget with a shit moustache. The Columbine dudes were skinny little kids. Evil doesn't adapt to appearance.
He killed Han Solo. That alone makes him an intimidating and worthy villain.
Not to mention he already looks menacing as hell in the trailer. Best shot of the whole thing

Dood can stop a blaster beam in mid air as well, he might saber fight like a wounded animal/inexperienced fighter but that puts him at a power level unseen in the movies. Why deflect a blaster if you can just freeze it.

No lies were told
Yeah that's what I was thinking
Darth Vader could stop blaster beams with his hand as seen in TESB and Rogue One.

The Sith also feed off pain, so it's entirely possible he didn't fully "absorb" that blaster shot.

Please do Phasma justice in this movie. It's all I'm asking for.
She was the most disappointing thing in TFA for me. A badass looking stormtrooper that goes out like a punk.

My first thought. "Oh right, Brienne of Tarth was in the first movie..."

Some kind of spear. Making Star Wars were reporting a while ago that she'd have one.
Oh nice. Wonder if we're looking at more melee combat
She's the person that's going to absolutely steal this film.
See I don't agree with this. To me, Phasma is just another Boba Fett. Cool to look it for a few scenes but I want most of the screen time and story to be centered around the Skywalker drama and other events.
Yeah, he really does look like evil Jon Snow

My brother, after seeing Star Wars, told me that he "didn't like that they made the lead Stormtrooper a girl just because they could".
1) Phasma has so little screentime
2) It does not matter what gender they are.

I think (not that I'm looking to feed the IT'S GONNA BE EMPIRE narrative) we're going to see our heroes remain split up, and the villains will be split to deal with them.
These covers reinforce that to some extent:
Luke & Rey will be paired off against Kylo & Snoke
Hux & Phasma will be chasing down/going after Poe/Finn/Rose
Leia will probably be dealing w/ Laura Dern in one way or another.
It'll all probably come together in the last 20-30 min, and probably won't end very well for Luke & Leia. I wouldn't be surprised if it also doesn't end very well for Hux & Snoke.
What did he mean by this?

Hope Captain Phasma isnt a punchline this time

Yeah, I want at least 90% of his screen time to have the mask.
I don't really think he's supposed to be all that intimidating. Feels like that was the whole point of the reveal when he took off the mask. You were expecting some scarred stoic sith lord veteran.
Kylo Ren is more of an unstable lunatic like prequel era Anakin. He's all impulse.

How are people still not getting that Kylo Ren is a fucking school shooter, and not a Schwarzenegger villain?
He's not threatening because of his look. He's threatening because he's the sort of pindick shithead who thinks his look is threatening, and someone that self-delusional and misguided is pretty fucking dangerous. They can convince themselves of anything, and if they feel like convincing themselves that you are beneath them, and that you don't deserve to live so that they can feel better, then that's what's going to happen.
He's the perfect villain for Star Wars in the 21st century: A Star Wars fan who doesn't actually understand Star Wars, and hates you for getting it.

Yeah and honestly I'd rather see Driver's face during performance. His scenes at the end would've been far less effective had he not ditched it.
Yep, Kylo Ren is probably my favorite character from TFA. Pretty excited to see where they take him in TLJ.
