8 Even More Star Wars Questions That Always Confused You
7. How Did Captain Phasma Get Off Starkiller Base? - Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
Captain Phasma looked to have perished on Starkiller Base towards the end of The Force Awakens.
After all, the First Order "Chrome Dome" had been dumped in the base's trash compactor by Finn, Han Solo, and Chewbacca after lowering the superweapon's shields. So, it was only natural to assume she was very much doomed when said base was royally blown to smithereens by Poe Dameron and co. in The Force Awakens.
But Phasma was suddenly back throwing down with Finn one film later, with it only being revealed in a 2015 comic mini-series,Star Wars: Captain Phasma, exactly how she escaped certain death.
Said Resistance bombing of the base actually blew a hole in the trash compactor, and Phasma then proceeded to frame fellow officer Sol Rivas for the fateful shield-lowering act. She then hopped in a TIE fighter before the whole place went kaboom.
Not stopping there, though, Phasma then made it her mission to track down Rivas after he also escaped, killing him and successfully covering her tracks in the process.
While the flicks may not have showcased quite how ruthless this First Order captain could really be on her day, this comic book certainly did.
