John Boyega’s Finn will cross paths with Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) again in Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi.
The news comes just a few months after this year’s Star Wars Celebration Orlando, which at the time had offered fans their first real look at The Last Jedi with a teaser trailer.
Boyega briefly teased Finn’s story in The Last Jedi during today’s D23 Expo panel for the film, which also featured the unveiling of a brand new, behind-the-scenes featurette for the film.
It’ll be interesting then, to see just how much power and force Phasma exercises in The Last Jedi, especially since so many fans were disappointed by her surprisingly low amount of screen time and importance in The Force Awakens.
