Oh and the scene where they showed the Death Star and then Star Killers gun made to look like it could shoot out deathstars was really cringy.


I also thought Phasma was a complete waste in the first movie and they really missed an opportunity.
I also thought Phasma had great potential. Seems very strange to me that they didn't make better use of her. Rian Johnson clearly wanted to make use of female characters, why not use the one that's already there and awesome. Instead he didn't use the character much at all, and then literally throws her into a giant hole.

While I found Phasma to be a relatively balanced and nuanced character, Johnson went with General Hux as the main side villain, who is basically a cartoon character.

Gwendoline Christie is also a great and well trained actor. I have no idea why she wasn't used more in TLJ.
