Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker - 26 WTF Moments

12. Phasma Pulls A No-Show

As with the Knights of Ren, the marketing for The Force Awakens heavily played-up the presence of Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), a ferocious First Order commander who has a particular bone to pick with Finn.

And though Phasma's presence is ultimately disappointingly slight in The Force Awakens, fans hoped that The Last Jedi would remedy this...only for Phasma to kinda-maybe die during her fiery fight with Finn.

Most nevertheless expected to see Phasma return in The Rise of Skywalker for a final rematch with Finn, but disappointingly, the character is nowhere to be seen.

While this doesn't confirm that Phasma is indeed dead, it does confirm that this trilogy cast the brilliant Gwendoline Christie as a badass Stormtrooper and did very little cool or interesting with her.
