So there’s this character in the new “Star Wars” movie named Captain Phasma, and all we know about the mysterious character is that she’s a high-ranking baddie in a chrome Stormtrooper uniform that comes with a kicky cape. Oh, and that she’s played by “Game of Thrones” star Gwendoline Christie.

Well, whoever’s handling the Star Wars Facebook page is awesome, because they replied simply, “It’s armor. On a woman. It doesn’t have to look feminine.”
Well played @StarWars, well played… 🙂 pic.twitter.com/xL3HyPALkc
