Okay, since a lot of people seem confused by whether Phasma outranks Pyre or not to issue threats, here is the answer that should clear up any and all confusion: Phasma's true rank is NOT captain, that's just the title she prefers to go by. Her true rank makes her on the same level as (if not slightly below) Hux and Kylo Ren. Those two and Snoke are the only ones in the First Order who outrank her. Everyone else in the First Order are ranked below her!
@@Reliavl he and the other members of the Supreme Council weren't inaugurated into the First Order leadership until after Kylo Ren became Supreme Leader. They were kept in the reserves at this time.
@@fawful-chortles1281 Actually. There's A Reason Why Phasma Outranks Pyre. I Saw On Google If Any Stormtrooper Wears A Light Grey Uniform. It's A Captain Rank. Commander Pyre's Golden Armour Means He Is Commander Of The First Order But Not All The First Order. Captain Phasma Seems That Her Amour Indicates The Captain Rank. According To My Research. Captain Phasma's Armour Doesn't Indicate Her Rank But Can Also Mean That Can Outrank High Ranked Stormtrooper Officers That Have Black, Red And White Pauldrons. Still. It Doesn't Mean Her Rank Is Like Hux's And Kylo Ren's. Her Rank Still Counts As Captain But There Is A Ordinary Explanation. Captain Phasma's True Rank Was Captain-General (UK Military Rank) Of The First Order. Kylo Ren Has To Shorten The Captain-General To Captain So That The Star Wars Fandoms Know That Phasma's Rank Is Lower That Commander Pyre's Rank. The Only Reason Why She Was Given The Name Phasma Was That She Was A Veteran Commander Of The First Order Before She Was Given The Name Phasma. Same To Commander Pyre But He Wasn't Captured By The First Order When He Was A Kid. He Joined The First Order By Supreme Leader Snoke Right Before He Died. This Still Counts Her Rank As Captain. So All Of You Can Stop Blabbing About Her Rank.
Phasma is the captain(supreme commander) of all stormtroopers it could also be a Rex situation. Captain Phasma sounds a lot better then Commander Phasma
Well in the US Navy a captain outranks a commander. I understand that this is science fiction but it seems they might go by a similar ranking structure.
I think captain in the first order is purely ceremonial, they serve more the role of general which I understand why they didn't use general phasma it doesn't have the same ring to it as captain phasma does.
@@alechome8021 actually I looked into it and she officially is a general but prefers the to be called captain as like rex she prefers the front line but she is a general not a captain
@@ctrlhypewall That post is incorrect, and as for season two I can't say. Christie is credited as Phasma in the official credits of the show. The scene with Hux in season 1 is audio directly taken from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
People questioning why Captain Phasma is called such if Pyre doesn't outrank her. 1. Captain is a lot more catchy. It's why they settled with Captain Rex even though he's actually a Commander, but Commander Rex doesn't flow well. 2. In the Navy, Captain actually outranks Commander.
This is all wrong 1. Rex is not "actually" a commander he is a captain in season 7 he got a promotion tho but before that his rank was captain. 2. Captain phase IS a captain she can't just prefer to be called a different rank that's not how the military works no professional military would allow that as it would cause confusion in the command structure. 3. Sure they are on naval ships at this moment but that doesn't matter at all as none of them are naval higher ups they work with the main army troopers not the navy. They are just on a ship in this scene that's it 4. The real problem is shitty writing and not knowing the lore or military structure if not that then the writers just don't care
@@robertoorrego4374 Just looked it up. You're right about Rex being a captain, so that's my mistake, but Phasma is a commander, not a captain. It's stated she is the commander of the First Order Stormtroopers. Furthermore, it would make no sense as to why she's commanding the golden Stormtrooper, Pyre. Pyre is a commander, but if he's subordinate to Phasma, that must mean Phasma is a higher ranking commander. But in the end, it's really just your fourth point. Rex should in fact be a commander. You have commander Bly, commander Cody, so why is Rex a captain yet he has the power of a commander to lead the 501st alongside a general? It's because Captain Rex sounds much better and is more catchy than Commander Rex. Same deal with Phasma. Commander Phasma is a mouthful. But yeah, I don't think the writers really care about military ranking. If I recall correctly, in the Galactic Empire, Lieutenant was one of the lowest ranks for a Stormtrooper, and they're not NCOs or of the like.
@@herrfantastisch7489 rex couldn't be commander because ashoka took that spot. And I appreciate you taking time to actually read and understand my comment there can be lots of toxic people on here lol
We got two chromed First Order Stormtrooper officers; Phasma and Pyre. Is it possible there are other chromed Stormtrooper officers in the First Order military?
Whoa a Gold trooper? Interesting! Hope he actually had some legit screen time with a meaningful story arc unlike Phasma who was just there to look cool and sell toys
Phasma is actually a General, she just chooses to be called "Captain" because it implies she fights on the frontlines rather than from the war room like a General.
@@fawful-chortles1281 yup, but at some point he outranked both kylo and phasma but not anymore. I guess you have to earn the favor if hux to become a high ranking member like phasma and ren was most likely given his rank after snoke took full control of the order.
Not really, all of the stormtroopers are the same, except for me and Phasma, we wear different colored armour but her armour is more unique, while i just wear a gold version of the normal stormtrooper uniform because they think im "Special"
Many troopers are getting confused of how i am not outranking the Captain, she's considered to be a General but prefers being called a Captain, just like Captain Rex, General Phasma doesn't fit since it has no point of making it catchy, that's why her name is Captain Phasma, now if you excuse me, i got some Resistance members to hunt down, even though im already dead.
One of my biggest issues with how Disney handled the First Order is that they made them the stereotypical "comic book villian". They're are too evil for the sake of being evil and severely punish subordinates for failure. Sure Darth Vader acts the same way but there are plenty of Imperial commanders who show leniency and care for their troops. It doesn't make logical sense to threaten execution of loyal soldiers. The First Order is suppose to be a streamlined more efficient version of the Empire.
Is it that hard to understand that Phasma outranks pyre but just prefers to be called captain. She clearly outranks him, look at her position on star killer base standing alongside hux while giving his speech. Hux for example is called a general but he is one of the highest ranking members of the first order alongside ren. Star wars dosent misunderstand our military ranks, it either knows exactly what it's doing, or its literally a TV show set in space that could have completely different ranks to our world's.
@@mirkodrago2392 well at least phasma actually did something other than failing to destroy a damn platform with a armed to the teeth star destroyer. And they failed MULTIPLE TIMES. For some reason their guns were the slowest shit in the world.
