When talking about Gwendoline Christie’s Captain Phasma, marketing executives reportedly “deflected by saying she can be merchandised from Star Wars: Resistance.”
So, we could still see DJ or Captain Phasma in Star Wars 9 in a surprise fashion, but it doesn’t look like they will have any substantial parts this time around.
Benicio Del Toro’s DJ and the Porgs might not have made the cut for J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars 9.
Rian Johnson’s decision to bring in the Porgs, which many Star Wars fans believed to be the new Ewoks, was not a welcome idea for more than a few hardcore fans.
