Phasma's TIE

By MaxPower, in X-Wing

Is it me or does the back end of that TIE look like a cylon from the old 1970's battlestar galactica?

Apologies if I've just ruined that paintjob for anyone... I'm having a hard time un-seeing that now.

Why the hell wasn't TR-8R Phasma?! If you're going to have a stormtrooper overpower the hero in a fight, why not make it the named stormtrooper!?

Oh, for once we had a nameless stromtropper who was NOT a stupid fumbler, and you immediately want to replace the cool anonymous guy/gal with a named character :P

I've already done mine and shared it on the X-Wing mods FB group... https://m.imgur.com/a/2S0Mx

That metal finish annoys the hell out of me.

Kinda

It is all in the riddle of Quickdraw's name

Behold!

Quick Draw

The previous letter in the alphabet from Q is P, and from D is C

So QD becomes PC

Flip it around, and it becomes CP

Quickdraw is Captain Phasma confirmed

So we know she flies an SF :P

:P

But what if there's a plot twist? We all thought we knew that QuickDraw was Snoke, but BackDraft was pulling the strings all along! :o

Isn't her pilot ability to drop all shield tokens after deployment then fly straight into the nearest trash compactor, don't see her becoming competitive.

Yeah but then she'd be dead from Chewie's boltcaster.

Quick and dirty. 3 layers of metal, some black, some red, no photography skills.

I love it!

The only suggestion that I have is to "clean up" the black panels.

Mainly because I like clean imperial ships, and, it will add a nice contrast to the model.

I heard that Captain Phasboo's a chicken. A giant chicken!

I now have that jingle stuck in my head. I hope you're real proud of yourself.

Or she could have lost an arm, giving her more reason to hate on FN-whatsisnumber.

Point remains her character could have been more interesting.

Or better yet, she could of got blasted, knocked off her feet and then eventually sit up, NOT wounded, her armour soorched marked.

After seeing how strong that weapon was, and lets be honest, they really made a point of it this time round, not only would the viewer be amazed at her combat skills but OH MY GOD HER ARMOUR STOPPED SOMETHING.

Instead Fett cred.

Indeed. It would have gone a long way to making her actually seem dangerous. And making stormtrooper armour actually do something would have been even more impressive.

I appreciate this reference more than you'll ever know.

Brienne of tarth deserved much better.

TR8R does have a cool back story, and a history with Finn. It was detailed in the book "Before The Awakening", which focuses on Poe, Finn, and Rey. In fact, if you want to know how Rey got to be such a good pilot, that book will give the details.

Having said that: yes. It would have been much better for the movie for Phasma to have been the one to take out Finn.

And the chrome is actually taken from the plating of Sheev's personal ship so probably could stand up to the mighty bowcaster.

What, someone heard he was dead and decided to run off with his rims?

Considering how most family act after a rich relative has died, I imagine that the Moffs and Admirals were starting to fight over his stuff before he was even halfway down that shaft.

Only reason I even care about that was because it helped bring the Corporate Sector back into canonuity.

That's almost as ******* stupid as the Lightsaber crystal retcon for the Sith.

Or the name Sheev?
