Quoted from CaptainNeo:Then you have characters that have this build up to something, yet nothing every develops with them, and they get chumped out. like snoke and phasma. lets create these intriguing characters that are suppose to be powerful characters.....not use them , and just have them die off
I don't get the love for Phasma, was she a major player in the EU or something? The buildup to her pre Ep 7 was big, then she was lame. The build up for her pre Ep 8 was big, and she had more or a role, but again lame. I don't think it's Disney that's really pushing her though, it's seems to be fans, and I can't figure out why.
In my opinion, she's a minor character, nothing really of interest, so I don't pay attention to her. Like one of the minor Empire Captains. Maybe some screen time and a line or two, but not a major player.
But in articles and here people are excited about her and upset she wasn't more. Is it's because she's silver? Is it because she's a she? I don't get it.
I loved the movie, FYI, much better than Force Awakens. And I'm an old timer for reference, I saw the first (Ep 4) at a drive-in as a kid. but I only follow the movies, not the books. Prequels were horrible.
