18. Captain Phasma

Gwendoline Christie's Captain Phasma was one of the most wasted characters in The Force Awakens; a ridiculously cool design but with nothing to actually do.

Her miraculous survival of Starkiller Base gave her a second chance, and we had heard there'd be something of an expanded role. That is technically true, in that she fights Finn - as seen in the trailers - but there's very little else for ol' "Chrome Dome", and while there are other characters it's more important to follow, it does feel like she's been wasted again.
