Actress Gwendoline Christie was attracted to the role of Captain Phasma because it didn’t fall into the usual movie stereotypes for women.

  1. She was great in Game of Thrones, a great actor nevertheless, but how ironic is that she has to forced to blatantly sell an absolute pathetic of a character, 'Captain Phasma', created by an equally pathetic product of big studio conformist, being Mr. JJAbrams. She just can not bring this hunk of junk to life in episode 7. Phasma is a toy selling gimmick just like a space-soldier- baddie cum barbie doll. As for JJ, he is just an overhyped and overated yes-man compared to other brilliant directors that are artisans in truest form of story telling. He is just one of those cheap student directors who will succumb to studio demands with little or no regard to the art of storytelling, just to make profit margins.(Go Netflix).

    Just because the big studio dumped huge amounts of money to make, promote and advertise the absolute big budget garbage that was 'The Force Awakens, and bombards the social media with over-hyped campaigns to brainwash the masses on what a great movie is, an isn't, DOES NOT make him an artist. Painting by numbers is not art.

    Ms. Christie should stick to real characters developed out of love and reason, just like Brienne of Tarth. Love you.

  2. Yep, theres just not enough female characters out there. All the shows are a feminine wasteland. Bet noone here can give me one show with a badass female character or even lead.
    And im so happy cpt phasma is relatable. I mean all the brainwashed military genocide/dictator enablers killing rebel scum for a clearly evil world destructing force out there finally have someone to identify with
