Canon STAR WARS Comic To Explain How Captain Phasma Escapes Her Fate In THE FORCE AWAKENS
A new comic will explain how Gwendoline Christie's Captain Phasma escaped the trash compactor and the fiery destruction of the Starkiller Base at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
This September, a 4-issue comic from writer Kelly Thompson and artist Marco Checchetto, titled Star Wars: Captain Phasma, will explain how the Stormtrooper leader escaped the trash compactor and the destruction of Starkiller Base at the end of The Force Awakens. This development seemingly refutes fan theories that Phasma has numerous clones and it's one of her doppelgangers that wil be appearing in The Last Jedi.
The series will be one of the several titles that comprise the Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi publishing initiative that will help bridge the story and action between Episode VII and Episode VIII.
On the miniseries, Thompson stated, "It’s exciting enough when someone lets you contribute to the Star Wars universe in any real way, but when they let you create the first ever Phasma story for comics? Well, that’s about as good as it gets! Like most, I’m a huge fan of both Gwendoline Christie and Phasma. Christie is magnetic and Phasma has so much fascinating untapped potential…potential which I can’t wait to help unlock for fans in our comic."
