Even though her armor could deflect a laser blast, her helmet was made out of thin plastic.

At least she was shinier this time.

Captain Phasma... What a memorable bad-ass character! A worthy successor to Boba Fett! A role-model for young girls! 😆

[–] Bubbathegut (18049) 7 years ago

Haha true but at least Fett got bested by Luke and not by a janitor that mops floors.

😆😆😆👍

No no no... Fett got bested by Han Solo blindly (literally blindly) swinging a metal stick.

It's made for kids, they identify with plastic toys. :)

[–] PresidentAckbar (1289) 7 years ago

Yay for plastic!

He wasn't wielding a toy, you idiot. That was a weapon of war. If her helmet was insubstantial, her head would have exploded.

And Phasma is just a commentary on/parallel to Boba Fett. She looks badass but never really matters. But unlike Boba, she actually almost won her fight. So hey.

"insubstantial" ?

Now I really feel the urge to go out and buy the new-canon book "Phasma" because it'll fill in the gaps why she was the most pointless character ever. Wow...
