Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi
Director Rian Johnson says sports fan will get to see more of Captain Phasma"in action"inStar warfare : The Last Jedi . Played byGame of Thronesactor Gwendoline Christie , Phasma was immediately embrace by fans when she turned up in the first prescribed preview forThe Force Awakensin 2015 , only to leave filmgoers feel a bit betray by how short the silver - armored stormtrooper was actually featured in the movie .
create matters worsened was the fate Phasma suffered inThe Force Awakens , since Finn ( John Boyega ) and Han Solo ( Harrison Ford ) - in an obvious ode to a classic scene from the firstStar Warsfilm in 1977 - force the fictitious character into Starkiller Base ’s scum compactor ; effectively making fans relive the unceremonial exit of famous bountifulness hunter Boba Fett ( Jeremy Bulloch ) inReturn of the Jedi .
get hold of on the popularity of the character , Lucasfilm made certain thatPhasma survived the destructionof Starkiller Base and foretell a much bigger role for the First Order villain inThe Last Jedi . In an interview withEWabout the plastic film , Johnson wants fans to know that he ’s made estimable on the hope , and gave a peep into what ’s onward for Phasma :
“ Gwendoline Christie is one of my pet citizenry , and you get to see her in action which I think is going to be really fun . That character is just so bloody nerveless looking . Like , okay , let ’s see what we can do with her . Let ’s put her in activeness and see what happens . ”
While Johnson is confirm what devotee probably already bear , it ’s big to hear about the film maker ’s enthusiasm for the character - since he ’s made it clear in the past that he ’s as much aStarWarsfan as he is aStar Warsfilmmaker . Clearly , he realizes the possible threat the character reference can bring to the film and the brief clip of Phasma inThe Last Jedi ’s annoyer trailer render the action that Johnson line as the head stormtrooper leads an assault on a Resistance foundation .
There ’s bound to be some vivid confrontations , too , as Boyega has promised that there will be a face - off betweenFinn and his former stormtrooper boss . On top of that , Phasma may evenremove her helmetinThe Last Jedi(that is , if Christie ’s picture inVanity Fair’scoverageof the film in May gives any meter reading ) ; and if she does , it will naturally sum another untapped level of the grapheme that was n’t research inThe Force Awakens .
Whether the character is unmasked on not inThe Last Jedi , it intelligibly sounds like Phasma fanatics will in the end get their fill of the character they desired to see much more of , back in 2015 .
