Christie appears in both franchises, as Lady Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, and as Captain Phasma in Star Wars.
Gwendoline Christie compared Game of Thrones and Star Wars during the show’s panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego, saying that they have a similar sense of ‘coming home’ to them.
With Game of Thrones, we’re going into season 7 now, and there’s a similar feeling.
I hope that Game of Thrones lives on so people have that same feeling of home and love for it.
