Lot of seemingly intentional similarities between the two. For example, Jeremy Bulloch (the guy in the Boba Fett suit in the original movies) says he modeled the character's posture and movement off of Clint Eastwood's character Blondie in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and when you look at the promotional artwork for Captain Phasma...

Definitely intentional

. But aesthetic wise she's my favorite so far.

When do the tickets go on sale?

If I can get then me and some friends are taking the 18th off and are going to go down to Philly to watch in a 70mm theater.

I was reading something about being able to reserve tickets on the 15th or 16th

Phasma has a much more striking look than Ren. It's not even close for me and certainly seems that way for many.

Oh no. I agree. That's a huge part of it. But also her uniform is fucking awesome. When I say Boba Fett. I mean the costume is so cool that we are drawn to it as well.

I hope Phasma gets adequate screen time as well.

It's kind of funny how simple it was to make her costume amazing. Stormtrooper + shiny armor + cape = ZOMGWTFAMAZING

That's all it takes sometimes. It'll all come together if the movie has her in a few awesome scenes and she's really well done.

capes make everything awesome plus she's something unique

waiting for the gold stormtrooper with cape for Episode 8

Imagine if that's just Phasma after an armor upgrade.

Then in Episode 9 she gets something even more badass, like two capes.

Two capes make a poncho...maybe she'll turn bronze for episode 9..that would be cool

Freeza said to check hobby search around 11 pm eastern. But to keep tabs on all the other import retailers as well.

Yea I think Ren is pretty popular, but Phasma is like the new Boba Fett

I haven't read any of the spoilers or potential leaks or anything... but the way they've really led the marketing with Ren... and the vast majority of the billion they've earned probably came from him, he better be a cool character (and also not die)

Something tells me Ren will be around for at least 2 movies. as far as merch goes he's top 3 not doubt. Phasma, Ren BB8/Rey I think.

Boke1879 · Oct 1, 2015

Well on Hobby search it looks like the page for Phasma is up. But I'm not really understanding it. Are the preorders already closed?

Lurking on a couple of collector forums, it looks like a lot of people are army-building with this one and buying multiples, explaining the current shortage. I was surprised to see the original Storm Trooper on Amazon for near retail recently so I'm hopeful this one will end up similarly abundant.

Also, count me among the many who are actively scanning for any news of wide-spread Phasma availability. I think that one's going to be really tough to find in the wild.

I'm waiting for phasma too. I caught a FO Trooper for 23 bucks on Amazon so I have that now. I also bought one of the original stormtroopers as well. I think other types of FO troopers are coming in later waves. 3rd party Phasmas have come way down but I haven't seen any first parties on Amazon US yet

Phasma's so badass I wonder if she's switch sides.

Lebron · Oct 1, 2015

Hopefully, Phasma lasts through the first movie.

If Lucas was at the helm, I'd figure she be a one and done like Maul was.

I'm just saying in general. The ones that have been released back then and now what's the difference?
