How would tou fix this misuse of a character?

tits out, ass up.

keep the helmet

>have her interact with Hux
>remove helmet at some point
>give her some actual action and establish her as a real threat
>have her die on krait, killed by finn during his heroic sacrifice scene

Make her a female character

a jetpack

take the helmet off

HAVE FINN RAPE HER

Don't have her literally thrown in the garbage in the TFA
Actually give her some other purpose than a speedbump

Why does she have a cod piece?

She's not even a character. She's just a random extra in silver armor. She has no personality, no development, no motivations of her own, almost no lines, and virtually no presence in the story beyond being a different color from the other storm troopers.

She should've at least had TR-8R's baton fight with Finn, where we could see her tanking the bolt caster shot or whatever Han or Chewie shot him with and then she could come back later. Instead the one scene she could've had went to a random, nameless storm trooper that fans themselves had to give an identity.

You can't.

/thread

See them and their army of stormtroopers exterminating rebels by the dozen as stormtroopers exist to do. Introduce even a little bit of character development. Make them something other than "shiny armor girl who does nothing"

Why does every single character need an elaborate backstory? Did you get pissed Boba Fett didn't have his own subplots in ESB and RotJ? Get over yourself.

A common criticism of the old movies is Fett being a boring loser who gets hyped for no reason. They could've easily seen she'd be the exact same.

First post wins again.

Fett fans are EU nerds. no exceptions.

Phasma comes back in Episode 9, revealing that she was severely disfigured/maimed in TLJ and had to be rebuilt into a Vader-like suit

She dies again 15 seconds after she's reintroduced

Instead of Phasma, TR-8R should have survived TFA and returned in the Last Jedi, being the sole source of comic relief in the entire film (which should have had a far more serious tone). One moment of TR-8R would have been far better than those numerous 'jokes' in the Last Jedi.

By driving her speeder into a dumpster full of bantha poop or by slipping on a banana peel?

Let her die to never be mentioned again.

All of TR8R should've been Phasma. Would've give her plenty to showcase in the first movie.

Her diaphragm falls out and in the confusion Finn lightly cowtips her into a Sarlacc pit that just happens to be entrenched in an ancient alien Indian burial ground. JJ's pulling out all the stops to make this the best Start Wars ever!!

Who said anything about a backstory, Disney?
She does nothing in the films but get her ass kicked. She's boring and shit because of that, not because she doesn't have some elaborate backstory.

Have her take FN-2189's betrayal incredibly personally and have her hound him across the galaxy.

As others have said, have her engage Finn in the baton/saber fight.

Have someone on Casino planet tip off the First Order that those wanted resistance fugitives are there, and have Phasma lead a squad of Stormtroopers to track down and eliminate him, while trying to find out why he's on the planet.

Just something other than
>Who told you to remove that helmet?
>This was the first time he rebelled
>*Lowers ur shields*
>*Orders ur execution*
>You will always be scum
>*Dies*

This.

Should've had her be the "codebreaker" and reveal it was her trying to lure Finn and Asian bitch to the ship. Have her intercept the call to Malz or whatever the orange not Yoda was called. Have her out of her armor and dressed up. I doubt many know what she actually looks like, let alone, all dolled up.

>Starkiller base left her fucked up, robot arm, cybernetics etc.
>Abandoned the first order
>When Finn and Rose are arrested on Canto Bight they are thrown into the fighting pits
>They face Phasma, who's the reigning champion

Recast her with a non GoT meme actress and turn her into a giant aryan princess.

That would’ve been stupid but I like it

Okay. This is what we do.
>More screentime.
Make her the one to lead and capture the opening scene of TFA.
She is more of a this gestapo type, an inner-circle agent of First Order, she tracks and kills deserters.
We see Finn and his friends are about to desert, but they get caught BEFORE the act because she figures it out... but Finn improvizes and escapes.
THIS GIVES PHASMA A PERSONAL DRIVE.
THIS GIVES FINN A GRUDGE AGAINST HER.

>Now we have an arc for her.
But the arc is not only about her manhunt or Kylo ballbusting her and wanting to see results.
We save Kylo for big personal confrontations and give all the other smaller tasks to Phasma and she becomes "Vaderish" First Order enforces that keeps the troops in iron grip.

Make her a deep cover resistance agent.
Unquestionably loyal to the resistance. She had fed them so much information over the years, saved them from so many attacks and raids, and although she personally has done things she regrets everyone in the resistance considers her a hero.
It’s revealed in the next movie that she fell a few decks in the explosion, now partly disformed she managed to drag herself to an escape pod and get out. She had a plan to save the resistance but then Finn and rose fucked it up. So she meets up with the resistance mid movie.
And she’s a damn hero, everyone knew her by a code name and when leia introduces her everyone fucking loves her.

Except Finn, he can’t let it go,’she’s professional and even though this spiteful shit threw her in a garbage disposal unit, cracked her helmet and left her disfigured, she understands and forgives.
He won’t let it go though, to the point it’s makng people uncomfortable.
He doesn’t believe her intel at one stage that gets people killed, he stalks her on base, it takes Poe smacking his ass down physically to drill the point home that he’s not in the first order anymore.

It would also give Finn’s character something to do in the next film lord knows he needs it.

yeah and all of these happened in like 1 weeks???

>square head
>aryan

you can fuck right off

She pegs Finn.

Instead of dying when her helmet gets cracked, you see tears on her face as she hesitates from looking at finn. "Why did you leave us?" "Did you hate me that much?" "Am I that bad of a leader?" "Was it because of the helmet?" "I'm sorry Fn-2187, I just didn't want to see Kylo Ren take you away from me." "I've lost many of my soldiers on the battlefield, but watching you leave us hurt me the most." You start to see Phasma is a qt through the crack in her helmet. Finn starts to feel bad for her. He leaves and she stays on the floor ashamed, breathing heavily.

>her sole defining moment in the force awakens was that she was actually a craven hypocrite
>demands everyone follow orders, die for first order but she gives up shield codes the moment a gun is put to her head
>they should have explored that in the last jedi, maybe first order have worked out that someone betrayed them and are closing in on her
>starts discretely killing her own subordinates/undermining first order operations to try to keep her secret
>eventually has to defect, work for resistance to survive (she has a lot of first order info and is a good fighter so they have tollerate her)
>amongst all these wide-eyed idealistic rebels, she's still inherently selfish and evil, which makes a nice comparison

>misuse
Oh but you are wrong... they used her perfectly to sell toys

This

>Disney hires a team of Sup Forumstards and releases updated Special Editions just like George
>only difference is they aren't absolute shit, and actually improve upon the original cuts
>it's like pottery
