Still with us? Good, because according to Kennedy, Episode VIII will see the return of Gwendoline Christie, who plays the villainous Captain Phasma. Apparently, she’s a pretty important character and one who will make it out of The Force Awakens alive.
It makes sense, too, as Phasma is said to have only a minor role in Abrams’ film, so clearly they’ll just be setting up her arc for future instalments. She seems to be an early fan favorite as well, so I’m sure people will be pleased to hear that the character will have more of an impact down the road.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens on December 18th, while Star Wars: Episode VIII is slated for release on May 26, 2017.
