Captain Phasma

Captain Phasma is a new character in "The Force Awakens" who leads the First Order's legions of troopers. She wears metallic armor and has a cape. Casual fans often mistake the new character as Boba Fett.

In an October 30, 2015 interview with the Los Angeles Times, the actress behind Captain Phasma, Gwendoline Christie, brought up Boba Fett in an answer:

Of her role in "Star Wars," Christie can say only that though Captain Phasma is a supporting character, she will exert considerable force on the story. "She is a Boba Fett-style character," the actress said, "which means she makes a lot of impact but she's not at the forefront of the action all the time."
