After being one of the most disappointing characters in Episode VII considering how much she was built up, we were told Captain Phasma would have a much bigger role in The Last Jedi.

That… literally wasn’t the case, as instead, Gwendoline Christie’s potential-filled Stormtrooper appears for what feels only a few minutes of screen time.

As a result, many were left deflated by such a lacklustre appearance, leaving many comments online as to what was even the point of having her return at all. Thankfully, Phasma still has a fairly memorable fight with Finn, yet she’s struck down - revealing Christie’s eye underneath that helmet - only to tumble into a pit of fire, potentially killing the character for good.

With Phasma being a creation of JJ Abrams in the first place, it’s back over to him to see if she reappears in Episode IX.
