So they seem to be pushing Phasma hard giving her a book and a comic mini-series.

But I don't know how anyone can take her seriously after the shit she pulled in TFA. They should have just killed her off.

I think she has great potential to be shown as an independent strong female character along the lines of leia; but yes that one scene did screw it up.

Eh. Boba Fett's only contribution in the films is getting knocked into a giant vagina by a blind man with a broom. It's possible to redeem a character with enough PR work.

Anything less than milking her for all she's worth after the TFA screwup would be a waste yeah, apparently in TLJ she plays a much more prominent role.

And yeah, Boba Fett lol.

Well, I've never taken Boba all that seriously either. But at least he didn't deactivate the shields on the DS or something just because his life was in danger.

Which should have been the FO if their training is anything to go by, but apparently loyalty is something that can be just dropped at a moments notice.

Her troops were going to storm the block and kill them all. 🙂

Is it just me who doesn't like the character's name to be the title of the book? "Ahsoka", "Tarkin", "Thrawn", "Phasma"? Like, they should try to be creative and unique with the title name.

Anyways, Claudia Gray is apparently writing another Leia book. 🙂

Which matters...why? She still did the ultimate betrayal, how the hell she wasn't executed or court martial in the next movie and still leading troops with zero consequence for her previous actions is beyond me.

I doubt they would know who deactivated the shields and it's not something I see Phasma bragging about. But, yeah, her character is an absolute joke.

I was on Goodreads and apparently a lot of people really enjoyed Dark Disciple and Revan. Pretty shocking.

People have bad taste yeah. That's why everyone and their mother is a NYT bestseller.

Also did you see the Ahsoka dolly. 🙂

EDIT: Lol that actually reminds me of when I was at Celebration last year, and overheard a some dude recommending the Bane trilogy as an amazing series or something, lmao.

Lots of people love the DBT. When I pass by YouTube, there's people going "You must be one of those guys who thinks the Bane books are bad" or something. lmao

In fairness PoD was bearable, but once Drew took on multiple protagonists he couldn't handle the prospect of giving both of them decent characterization and ran straight for the power hype. So RoT and DoE, especially RoT, became utter shit-tier. 🙂

His worst book to date remains Revan, which I've recently decided is even worse than Legacy of the Force: Revelation.

Ikr, I feel like every other book I pass has "from New York Times Best Seller, [insert author name].

Yes, it's adorable. 🙂
