    Was Boba Fett (the actor) on the ESB or ROTJ poster?

    I'm speculating that this was a role Christie wanted and she is being paid less than the usual fee for a known star, and from the outset knew she would not get billing on the poster. Christie is the kind of actress who is happy to take smaller roles if she wants to be part of a project.

    For the same reason you don't see "Jeremy Bulloch" on ESB posters I suppose

    Supporting characters aren't usually on theatrical posters. Can you imagine the space needed for everyone?. She probably has as much screen time as Moff JerJerrod in ROTJ. (better example of screen time)

    For all we know she might be boba fett like, one line never shows her face. I always that it was based on billing and amount of screen time/lines.

    It's definitely odd since she's featured so prominently in marketing materials. I have to think it's because she doesn't show her face?

    I think the helmet will come off in Episode VIII. Then they will bill her. I sure hope so! She deserves credit where credit is due!

    I hate to be the one to say it but Captain Phasma ain't Luke.

    If she's not on the poster it because other people are billed before her, and the only reason for that is because she's less crucial to the story.

    Oh I never said that she is Luke. I just meant that she could be important to the over all story of its just a contractual thing.

    Well, maybe the layout guy didn't think her name would fit.

    I'm sure that, hours *after* the poster-file went to the printers, the layout guy slapped his forehead: "Oh MY! I could have just put GWEN!"

    True indeed. I'm beginning my shift towards keeping the helmet on though. That with the female voice behind it adds the the mystery like Fett IMO.
