I just finished reading Phasma, and Phasma had so much more set up to be the "spy" if there ever really needed to be one in the narrative of the sequel trilogy. She kills her former friends and family to join a more advantageous alliance not once, but twice. If she had lived through TLJ, and had determined that the FO was doomed to fail, she could have done it one third and final time.

Wanted to talk about Archex and Finn and how I wish a novel had thrown the two ex-Stormtroopers together, and then remembered that almost no one seems to have read Phasma SO...
People should read the Phasma novel. It's terrific. Phasma gains so many layers, Archex is fascinating in his own right, Vi is cool, and we pretty much get Mad Max in Star Wars. It's also startlingly bleak for the setting, in a way that works and doesn't feel edge-chasing. Awesome book.

First Order starship crews operate in three crew sections per department. Each standard day is divided into six four hour-long shifts, with each shift consisting of a designated team. This consistency creates a cooperative environment that fosters a sense of team camaraderie and unity. The immense innerworkings of a star destroyer require constant diligence for smooth performance. The ever mobile vessel requires 24-operation; hence the grave importance of smooth shift transitions. The four hour break-down was designed to omit burn out and keep the staff energized for full attentiveness and maximum efficiency. This, unfortunately does not always apply to commanding officers who often work extended shifts to ensure their department's success, especially during battles or times of crisis. Each department has its own commanding officers, followed by section and shift leads.
With a significantly smaller staff than it's predecessor, The Galactic Empire, the First Order relies heavily on the collaborative environment of each ship to ensure functionality. This synergetic culture is what sets the First Order apart from the Empire. For the sake of the organization's growth and survival, it was imperative that a strong sense of loyalty and companionship was instilled into the new generation at a young age. This tactic was implemented into the training and upbringing of both officers and stormtroopers. Yet, it does not account for the many of the older generation who are still accustom to the competitive environment of the empire.

I just want to make it clear that when Finn says "During my first mission, I made a choice." He was not talking about Jakku. He refused to fire during a previous mission as well, when his squad was tasked with shooting unarmed miners on strike. Phasma passed him through to the next mission regardless. FN-2187 was one of her most talented cadets and she believed he would have more success fighting an armed adversary. So when Phasma says "this was [ Finn's ] first offense" to Hux, she is lying. Finn was always soft hearted. He went out of his way to help the weaker members of his squad during training, despite Phasma's suggestions to allow them to fail.

...but we could be (nsfw) -> part of kink!week. Miranda Hilmarson x Robin Griffin. Miranda starred in a lesbian gangbang porn video and she is very proud of it.

From the Force Awakens novelization
I love the fact that Phasma, who is 6'7 and built, is visibly intimidated by Kylo but Hux stands his ground.

I'm thinking, once again, about the Star Wars sequel trilogy and the incredible wasted potential of the characters. Specifically, I'm thinking about Rey and Poe as foils against Phasma and Hux.
Here, we have two men who were raised from birth as true believers in opposing causes, the only sons of heroes, who then far surpassed their parents in fame and influence. There are some hints of contrast, in that we see the stark differences in how they lead, but the films are almost maliciously committed to misunderstanding Poe as a character*, that I have to assume those moments are purely accidental.
Then there's Rey and Phasma, two women from baren, brutal worlds, with a single name and no legacy**, who survive and succeed based entirely on raw talent and relentless determination. Phasma is nominally set up as a contrast for Finn, but she ends up being an unsatisfying personal villain. Likewise, Rey is set in opposition to Kylo Ren, but that whole dynamic is so messy and loaded, without exploring any of the meaningful parallels and conflicts between them***.
There's also something to be said about contrasting sibling dynamics. With Rey and Poe, we get glimpses of a squabbling rivalry rooted in obvious affection, whereas Phasma and Hux are shown (in EU material) to have a conspiratorial closeness based on mutual respect and mutually assured destruction. Neither of these relationships is developed to full potential or used to develop the narrative or themes of the films.
The reliance on external knowledge to prop up the core films is a long-standing critique of Star Wars, and I wholeheartedly agree that the movies should be able to stand on their own. However, given the volume and emphasis on the extended universe, it's reasonable to expect at least some degree of consistency. In the case of these characters and others, though, the most interesting character development is either jarringly ignored or deliberately removed, as with a scene cut from The Last Jedi which tells more about Phasma in two minutes than the rest of her screen time combined. There's plenty of discussion to be had about what's actually in the films, but I think the great tragedy of the sequel trilogy is what could have been there and isn't.
Footnotes and reading recs under the cut.
*My rant on this subject is long, detailed, and mostly about racism.
**I think Rey is a much more interesting character if she is actually nobody from nowhere, but that's a different discussion.
***This is not about ship vs notp, just about how their on-screen interactions fit into the narrative.
The Star Wars EU is daunting, to say the least. If you want to read more about these characters, may I suggest:
Phasma (novel) by Delilah S. Dawson (my all time fav SW novel)
Poe Dameron (comics series) by Charles Soule and Phil Noto
Captain Phasma #1-4 (comic) by Kelly Thompson and Marco Checchetto
Resistance Reborn (novel) by Rebecca Roanhorse
Before the Awakening (short stories) by Greg Rucka
Shattered Empire #1-4 (comic) by Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto
Age of Resistance (comics anthology) by Tom Taylor et al

I wonder if soon or later DelReyStarWars books will have the guts to write an Hux novel from his point of view, not told from someone else as in Phasma novel, I want hear everything Armitage Hux felt expecially when he took revenge against his abusers and when he destroyed Hosnian Prime. Sad parts, vengeful parts, annoyed and funny parts; no left out nothing!

🖤General Hux headcanons (Random) 🖤
Tumblr media
.Hums to himself when he’s walking down the halls of his ship when he's in a good mood. 
. He no doubt carries a comb in his pocket just in case he needs to fix his hair. 
. Though he hides it well, he’s often exhausted and suffers from burnout occasionally. 
. He’s come up with a way to semi block his thoughts from Kylo Ren after Ren saw a random thought flit through his mind during a meeting. Kylo can still sense Hux’s emotions, but Hux has been able to hide his thoughts somewhat well enough to hide from detection.
.Hux has had to save Kylo Ren’s ass more than once. To the point where he and Phasma had a code word for the rescue missions. If Kylo Ren ever heard the word, he’d probably blow a fuse. 
. Being who he is, Hux has an appreciation for the finer things in life. From uniforms made from the most expensive fabric the First Order can buy to liquor of the best quality. He doesn’t flaunt his acquired wealth and status wantonly, but he does like showing it off in discrete displays. 
.He’s got a liking for the color red, so his quarters are well decorated and furnished with deep shades of it. From his bedding to the glasses in his mini bar to the towels in his shower. Besides, red goes so well with obsidian black. 
. Though his quarters are small (for his liking. They are larger than Kylo’s.) he has a small area where he can prepare food and small meals for himself. (He loathes the chaotic ruckus of the cafeteria. You won’t ever find him in there unless he absolutely needs to be there). That being said, he prides himself on being somewhat of a good cook. Preparing food is not only his way of coping with stress, but it gives him a sense of control when everything else seems to not be going according to plan. 
.Hux almost always falls asleep cuddling his kitty Millicent. (And he always wakes up to her lying on his face or across his chest. He doesn’t mind though.) 
. He never has days off, but if he did, he’d no doubt spend it reading one of the many books he has acquired over time. In fact, there’s one steamy novel he really wishes he had time to delve into.

hi lumi! pls don't feel pressured to answer this but i'm currently reading Phasma by delilah dawson (i'm loving it so far) and i was wondering if you would know some nice sequels' books and comics to get into (preferably the ones that delve more into the first order but anything works tbh)? I know your thing is mostly the prequels (it's more my thing too tbh) but i was wondering if you could help me or perhaps if you would know someone who could help me with it?
Hi! I actually do have a handful of sequels-centric content that I've liked! When the expanded world of SW comics and novels was first getting started, there was a lot of focus on the sequels and a lot of it was genuinely delightful and to this day I still heartily recommend them! Phasma is one of them (I loved that that book was just so joyfully batshit in exactly the way a Star Wars book should be) and my recs for other stuff you'll hopefully enjoy are:
Captain Phasma by Kelly Thompson (comic) - Gorgeous art, a solid story, and even some Feelings if you've read the Phasma novel, because it features some flashbacks from there.
Poe Dameron by Charles Soule (comic) - In addition to being one of the best SW comic runs out there, it's also a great look at Poe's character, has gorgeous art, and is just a fantastic read all the way around, I would put it at the top of my recs list.
Aftermath, Aftermath: Life Debt, Aftermath: Empire's End by Chuck Wendig (book) - I always recommend that I think this series almost MUST be in audiobook form, that I could not get into it in novel form, but the audiobooks were such a fun adventure. This does the most establishing of the galaxy after the Empire falls, it gets into several of the characters that would go on to help form the First Order. It's mostly a set of new characters (that I grew to love) and the OT characters, but I think it helps set the world a lot, so if you don't mine the lack of ST characters, it does lead into ST worldbuilding.
Bloodline by Claudia Gray (book) - Is a Leia story and is mostly about why she stops being a Senator and founds the Resistance, but it helps tell the foundation of the New Republic (along with the Aftermath trilogy) and the rising of the First Order. It's still quoted a lot for some pretty iconic Leia moments, but I think if you're looking for ST worldbuilding (as opposed to sequels characters), it's good for that, too.
Star Wars Battlefront II (game) - The story of Battlefront II is focused on the OT characters, but I like recommending it because it does a lot of great work in connecting the OT to the ST, including moments of how the First Order came to be, and has some really great Luke characterization. You can look up a "movie" version on YouTube and watch it that way!
Spark of the Resistance by Justina Ireland (book) - I hesitate to recommend this one whole-heartedly if you're not already hip-deep in SW books, because it is very referential to other SW comics/books, but I genuinely enjoyed it as connective tissue between the ST movies where it showed all the characters coming together in this fight. It was cute and charming and had some delightful moments of the main cast!
Resistance Reborn by Rebecca Roanhorse (book) - Is much in the same vein as Spark of the Resistance, it does a lot of good connective work, is a charming read, and has good focus on the main ST characters!
Age of Resistance by Tom Taylor (comic) - This was a series of one-shots focused around several main characters and they're solid, fun highlights of the characters. I remember especially enjoying the Rey and Rose ones!
Star Wars Adventures by various authors (comic) - There are two volumes of this (they rebooted the title a couple of years ago) and basically any issue that has the sequels characters is a fun read. I mean, the whole entire series tends to be really great for any era, but the sequels ones are fun--including a darling one from the first volume with Poe and Rose interaction that has forever made me pine for more team-ups with those two.
Allegiance by Ethan Stacks (comic) - A mini-series set post-TLJ where they're trying to gather allies for the Resistance and has some lovely character moments, I especially remember feeling a lot for Leia in her scenes of trying to rally people to stand up against the First Order, now knowing it was her own son leading them.
Join the Resistance by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker (book) - This is a cautious rec because it's set during the time of the Resistance, but it doesn't really have a lot to do with them or even particularly strong worldbuilding, I just REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THOSE KIDS over the course of the series.
Star Wars: Resistance (TV series) - This show isn't for everyone, it's much more kid-friendly and the animation doesn't do it for everyone, but I adored the characters (especially Kaz, the main character) and their main antagonist is the building First Order, as well as occasional guest appearances by Phasma or Kylo Ren. It had a lot of heart, it was really charming, but it's a cautious rec despite that I loved it very much.
Hopefully, this should help you find some stuff to read!

brendol saying that parnassos’ automated weapon system shot down his ship doesn't track to me. like, in my opinion the empire's outdated tech would still have been better than that and able to detect an unsophisticated system like the one of the con star mining company. vi moradi even said that the weapon system was easy to avoid when she went there and met with siv. granted her shuttle was much smaller but 🫡 part of me thinks and hopes that this was armitage’s first attempt at killing his father by doing something fucky to the ship and not expecting those 4 people and the droid to survive lmao. imagine his disappointment. phasma herself said something like the ships that usually got shot down were usually just in pieces so what a perfect accidental death for brendol and then a disappointment to hux when he found out that his father had survived. i know hux says later on that he and phasma talked about the perfect time to kill brendol, but i really don't think that was hux's first attempt on his father's life. it would have been too perfect an accident that brendol died while out in the field looking for kiddos to steal back to the first order and i think that i'm actually going to incorporate this into my portrayal as hux's plan a for killing brendol,
