She did like it. You know what she loved? Child Anakin. She wasn't really getting into it and then he came on and she was hooked. Reckoned he was adorable and wasn't expecting a young child in Star Wars. She also loved Maul. Generally, she really enjoyed it. For her, the one negative was that she had a really hard time following the story. And when the crawl opens with trade routes and taxation, I don't blame her. So she had a crazy amount of questions, especially at the start - made worse by her having a hard time understanding the trade federation accents.
I asked her to rate the movies she has seen in order and, as much as it would horrify Star Wars fans, she placed episode 1 over New Hope. I asked her why and it was child Anakin. But she places the new movie at the top of the list and Jedi following closely behind. She had a tough time placing Empire but finally put it just above Ep1. So she rated New Hope at the bottom! So I have kicked her out of the house and disowned her.
As for Captain Phasma, she doesn't really have a point. She looks shiny and cool in a few shots. Weirdly, there are many places in the story she could have been and yet had no role, such as the attack on that planet with Maz. She could have done the TRAITOR fight rather than the random Stormtrooper.
I have a suspicion she was just a background character who ended up getting beefed up by the marketing department when they saw the shiny suit. I would also reckon that criticism about the lack of female parts played a part in her getting out out in front.
