Back in May, a report surfaced that Disney and LucasFilm’s highly-anticipated Star Wars: The Last Jedi will actually unmask Captain Phasma, the character played by Gwendoline Christie in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Regardless if her mask comes off or stays on, a report from last month revealed that Star Wars 8 will explore Captain Phasma’s backstory, with Gwendoline Christie praising writer-director Rian Johnson for “going deeper” into Captain Phasma’s story.
Many fans had assumed that Captain Phasma would be unmasked after a Vanity Fair photo showcased Gwendoline Christie in her full Phasma costume, except for her mask.
This is when the first wave of merchandise is released for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and hopefully there will be some new plot details hidden within this merchandise, since there is still very little revealed about the plot thus far.
