"There was a template for a character that people got really excited about." She's already appeared in the animated Star Wars Resistance and her own Marvel Comics series, so how would Christie feel about reprising the role? "I haven’t read the comics but, I mean, it’s Star Wars! I would absolutely love that," the Sandman star tells Empire Online.

The Star Wars trilogy was rife with missed opportunities, of course, but if we ever revisit that period, you have to believe more Captain Phasma is a possibility. That was particularly the case in The Last Jedi when she met an abrupt and fiery end, and it feels like Lucasfilm failed to take advantage of a character who could have been every bit as formidable and terrifying as Kylo Ren. Unfortunately, despite being an intimidating presence on screen, the villain was largely wasted. Quite easily the most unique-looking Stormtrooper we'd seen to date, the fact that Phasma was played by Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie only served to increase excitement. But these theories have no official confirmation.Long before we got to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens in theaters, there was one character who fans instantly gravitated towards: Captain Phasma. Others say she might be related to Han Solo. Many fans have speculated that Luke Skywalker is her father, according to IMDb. This film will reveal who her parents are, according to Entertainment Weekly. The Last Jedi will also be delving a little bit into Rey’s backstory. In fact, if we were to go off of the footage we have so far, it must be the main plot of the film. Luke is training her to be a fighter in this movie. This would explain why she's so shaken up at the beginning of that trailer.īut yes, it’s all pretty clear from the trailer and some of the other footage we’ve gotten so far. Something awful happened there and she needed to get away. So what's happening in this scene? Well, it would have to have something to do with Luke's training. It could’ve even been something bad he tried to do to her. Perhaps something horrible happened when she was there with Luke. The Last Jedi picks up immediately after The Force Awakens left off, with Rey meeting up with Luke, according to IMDb. She is actually just outside the same location she was at the end of The Force Awakens. We see her looking out of breath with a look of fear on her face as if she just escaped from somewhere. So that could definitely make up a significant part of The Last Jedi.Īnd Rey is one of the first things we see in the Last Jedi trailer released about four months ago. Rey is likely there to ask him to train her in fighting. SPOILER ALERT – At the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we see our protagonist Rey meeting up with Luke Skywalker, who has been hiding away for a while. How big a role will she have exactly? What will her character be doing in the movie? What kind of arc will she go through, if any? Daisy Ridley’s role as Rey in the upcoming holiday film Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a bit of a mystery at this point.
