Description: Connor and Alex discuss the potential and the missed opportunity represented by the character of Captain Phasma - how she is portrayed, how her expanded universe content could have more deeply informed her character, and potential ways she could have fit into a more cohesive sequel trilogy. They also touch on her parallels with Finn, the city of Canto Bight, and the different constructions of fascism present in the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy.
This episode contains spoilers for: Episode IV, Episode V, Episode VI, Episode VII, Episode VIII, Episode IX, Phasma (novel), Captain Phasma (comic), Join the Resistance!, Servants of the Empire, The Aftermath Trilogy, and Before the Awakening.
