Star Wars: 8 Characters Who Will Die By The End Of Episode IX

6. Captain Phasma

To many who've seen The Force Awakens, and then not kept up with the news since, Captain Phasma is already dead. With Han Solo getting some weird sense of revenge, she's shoved down a garbage shoot and into a trash compactor. Even if she, like Han did, gets out of that situation, there's still the fact that Starkiller Base is then destroyed while she's supposedly still there.

Somehow, though, the Chrometrooper will be back for Episode VIII. Quite how Gwendoline Christie's character survived is a mystery, but hopefully it'll be addressed come December 2017. While we're hoping for things, let's hope she has a bigger role to play, because the character's arc didn't come close to being as cool as her outfit.

She'll probably have a bit more to do (she can't have much less) but, given she's effectively this trilogy's Boba Fett, you can still imagine her being killed off in her second film. There's more to come between her and Finn (I would guess, at least), and that should mean they can give her a proper send-off in Episode VIII.
