13 Early Predictions For Star Wars Episode IX

8. Phasma Returns (And Dies For Real)

Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) remains one of the most bizarre missed opportunities in the Star Wars sequel trilogy so far, getting barely any screen time in The Force Awakens. Despite her bada** look, she was made to look like a total geek as she took a trip to the trash compactor.

The Last Jedi looked set to rectify the character's maltreatment, but again, Phasma was in it for just a few scattered minutes, battling Finn before appearing to suffer an hilariously excessive death.

Still, we didn't see Phasma die, and so it seems likely that this running joke will be played out one more time, with Phasma's armour probably protecting her from the flames enough to return with a new look in Episode IX.

She'll probably only appear for a few scenes once again, and it'll likely just be another short fight against Finn, but she'll actually go down for the count this time.
