[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7532160, member: 6704184"] I love Phasma, bc she isn't a chump, she's a self-serving villain. She probably doesn't give a damn about the 1st Order to begin with. THey should have left in the deleted scene where she shoots her own troops because Finn told them about how she sold out the Starkiller in order to have a chance at survival. I love seeing a villain who will sacrifice anyone and anything, for themselves. None of this "everyone is a hero in their own mind" crap. Some villains just don't care about anyone else. She didn't defeat Kylo, she held him off and got a decent strike in. After he was severely injured. And she literally already was shown to be a competent fighter. Luke is much more of a mary sue than Rey, insofar as either of them are, further insofar as the term even has any value. It's so weird to see these same bunk points over and over and over again. Has is uncanny, I'd argue. Especially in hyperspace navigation. But yeah, the force users seems to able to just, fly stuff real good with no training. Also, she already is familiar [I]with that ship[/I], so we don't even need to speculate that she has the force piloting ability to make sense of her flying it. She just has to be a good pilot, with force tuned reflexes. She is so familiar with the ship, that she sees it as a piece of junk due to the modifications that have been made to it. Also, people always bring up this idea that Leia "flies" in TLJ...what? No, she very obviously doesn't. She uses the Force to pull on the ship, just like Luke pulling a lightsaber to his hand (with no training in moving things with his mind) in Empire. Since she and the ship are both in 0 gravity, the force needed is incredibly small. THe Clone Wars cartoon also features a force user surviving in space for a bit, in one of the first episodes, if not [I]the[/I] first. IT's just wild to me how many of the endlessly repeated arguments against TLJ are easily debunked, and yet keep popping up. [/QUOTE]
