A character with this great of a design is obviously meant to be memorable and she has already drawn some comparisons to Boba Fett. ![]() Phasma appears to be a tool of Hux’s based on the SWU scene of them depicted together. I feel like a great point of contention will arise between the two with Captain Phasma Kylo thinks Hux is getting in the way of his greater mission while Hux views Kylo as a spoiled aristocrat who interferes too much in military matters. ![]() I think that the two will severely dislike each other and suffer from competing world views. That is why I propose that instead of a Tarkin/Vader relationship for Hux and Kylo we will instead have a dualistic antagonism between the two villains. Something that has stuck out to everyone is how young General Hux is for someone of his rank. Now Hux has an actual rank within the First Order, it appears that Kylo Ren does not. The only possible equivalent to Tarkin we have so far in Episode VII is General Hux. Now in Episode IV Darth Vader’s reigns were held by a military man, Grand Moff Tarkin. For example, if Darth Vader had a rank what would it be? Darth Vader was entirely outside of the Imperial chain of command, and if I’ve learned anything growing up on military bases it’s that disruptions to the chain of command don’t make soldiers happy. Outside of one minor instance the lightsaber has been wielded by Jedi or Sith, both religious orders technically outside of the hierarchy of the government they serve. Because of this Kylo has immediately drawn comparisons to our well known Sith Lords. So far the only villain we have seen with a lightsaber has been Kylo Ren. I’m throwing speculation at the wall and seeing what sticks. What follows is my own personal speculation, some of it based off rumors, but consider my ultimate goal similar to my previous article concerning the First Order. Three villains has been touched on before with the relationship between Nute Gunray, Darth Sidious, and Darth Maul but it was mostly a case of Darth Sidious manipulating both parties simply for his own personal gain. Variations of these sort of relationships are found throughout the Star Wars cinematic and expanded universe. While later appearances in The Clone Wars gave him an ambition of his own, on film Maul was purely a subservient apprentice without the cool power of Vader. In the Maul/Sidious relationship of Episode I Darth Maul served as little more than an attack dog. I don’t think any of us questioned that Vader could crush Tarkin with a flick of his wrist but Tarkin had both earned Vader’s respect and technically outranked him, although where exactly Vader stood in the Imperial chain of command is up to debate. Interactions between villains have taken many forms in Star Wars.Īs intimidating and powerful as Vader was in Episode IV Tarkin still held control over the Sith Lord. As of this moment it is uncertain how much of Supreme Leader Snoke (played by Andy Serkis) we will see in the upcoming film but we do know that these three will be the primary antagonists of Episode VII. ![]() Click the jump to read Bluestreaking’s theories regarding how our villains will interact with each other. With the names of our three main villains for Episode VII having now been revealed join Bluestreaking as he again attempts to formulate some sort of idea of what we may be seeing on screen.
