The BlackBear Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I did too, I think. Guess the question is whether she's a top officer for them (gotta assume that cape means she's important) or is going to be with the good guys, like John Boyega. http://screenrant.com/star-wars-7-captain-phasma-gwendoline-christie-white-chrome-armor/ Apparently Boyega's commanding officer, and an antagonist mad he deserted. But has also been training with a lightsabre. So maybe she is Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueMetis Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Is Korriban canon as the Sith home world? IIRC it showed up in the Clone Wars series under the name Morabond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also that Sith and generic darksiders aren't necessarily the same thing. Though a darksider that found information on the Sith might decide to become one. I'm guessing that every person involved with and especially writing any of the new Star Wars movies/shows/books/comics has this ready in their back pocket. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab aeterno Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 They used it all the time in the old EU, seriously doubt they're gonna give it up. Almost certainly not. It'll be amusing to see how quickly they slip back to old ways, despite the much tighter control and closer oversight of the new canon compared to the EU. Of course, The Clone Wars was pre-Disney but part of the canon that Disney couldn't really change. It'll be interesting to see what route they take going forward, but they've already started following the EU path of having more Jedi survive the Purge.

Jace, Extat Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 New Star Wars trailer. Looks more Disney-fied than we thought it would be... Shame on you. I have no idea what that trailer was for, but it most certainly was not a trailer from the new Star Wars movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Shame on you. I have no idea what that trailer was for, but it most certainly was not a trailer from the new Star Wars movie. Someone needs a hug... :) Olaf likes to give hugs. To AT ATs, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 That trailer: I was going to be outraged, but then I realised I would actually watch a movie where Olaf hugs AT ATs and Rapunzel tries to defend herself with a frying pan against whoever is in Millenium Falcon. :P And I do not know about you guys, but I Phasma is an absolutely awful sounding name to my ears. Like somebody cannot decide if the word they are looking for is phase, plasma or phantasma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like somebody cannot decide if the word they are looking for is phase, plasma or phantasma. My instinct is that I don't like it, but if the character is cool, and the name is pronounced well, I'm sure it'll grow on me. I'm not big on Rey, either, which sounds like a hill-billy mechanic to me - I'm still holding out hope that it's a pseudonym in-universe. The rumoured name is much cooler.

ab aeterno Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 To be honest, it sounds silly now, but I imagine Obi-Wan sounded silly way back when. Alec Guinness seemed to think so. :lol: We're just used to the silly names. ETA: Remember, there are others, like Mon Mothma, Tiaan Jerjerrod, Jek Porkins, even Lando is kinda silly when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yoda, Chewie, Tatooine, Boba Fett.... Yeah, Phasma isn't a great name, but it's par for the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
