12 Reasons Star Wars: The Force Awakens Is A Disappointment

9. Captain Phasma Was Hyped Up For Nothing

One of the most-hyped characters ahead of Episode VII's release was Captain Phasma, the incredible-looking, chrome-coloured stormtrooper who appeared to be evoking a Boba Fett vibe, and is played by Game Of Thrones' bada** Gwendoline Christie. Though Christie seems great in the role (her voice is fantastic), the character as a whole is rather underwhelming. Her screen time totals maybe 10 minutes, and she doesn't really get to do much in terms of bada**ery throughout. While she's already confirmed to return for Episode VIII (meaning that she wasn't killed when sent to the trash compactor), it's a pretty limp start to the character, and hopefully something that will be rectified next time with some truly awesome and terrifying feats.
