A new comic set at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens will reveal how Captain Phasma escaped the destruction of Starkiller Base.
A familiar droid or vehicle from the past popping up in Rouge One: A Star Wars Story, or a character hitherto only seen or heard of in the animated series The Clone Wars.
That was the last time Phasma was seen, and not long after that moment the base was destroyed.
Now that Star Wars has returned to theaters, filmmakers are doing their best to honor the original films while still drawing in a new audience.
