    Indeed, however they could have ended the fight differently if it were Phasma. We already had a chance to see how powerful the bowcaster was earlier in the fight. The main reason people would like it to be Phasma is simple, after all the buildup in marketing, it would have been nice to see her actually do something.

    We actually had some good theories going on in the Ep VII board, a few weeks back (until the trolls took over...)

    She will definitely be Finn's rival, whether by picking up a Bounty on him, or just a personal vendetta to take him down.

    Either she'll go after Finn, or she will defect to the Rebellion... Whether legitimately, or as a Sleeper Agent that only reveals herself once she has killed General Leia and assumed command over the Rebellion forces.

    to be honest i would have been happier if Phasma had died in at the end of the force awakens, and can't say any part of me is excited to see her return.

    I would just have preferred them to concentrate the screen time she will get in episode 8, to the characters that did work in episode 7, and for the new characters that are going to need screen time to establish themselves.

    But that would stop her being the Boba Fett of the ST. You know, that cool looking character that doesn't really do anything and gets taken out like a scrub. Phasma fulfilled that role perfectly.

    Phasma is a character that I was very much interested in and excited by before watching TFA, and boy was I completely disappointed. I was really looking forward to seeing a really strong character played by a fantastic actress. I feel like the character was the biggest wasted opportunity in the film and a perfect example of marketing running amok. As it stands right now, I have no incentive to care about the character and that's a bummer. I really like Gwen Christie and I liked the concept of a well-done female baddie. I'm hoping that the character is redeemed in Episode VIII because I really do want to care about Phasma. There's just no reason to right now.

    I really hope that she will be one of the main characters in next movie.
    I really like her look and idea of her, but her role in TFA was too short and forgetful.

    She is pretty much comic relief so hopefully she won't be in it much/at all

    Apparently it is from a TFA behind the scenes video. Move along.

    I look at it as one of two possibilities (which means neither is probably correct)
    1. It feels like she let that shield down way too easily at the end of TFA. So she could be an undercover resistance fighter, if I remember correctly she said after Finns defection that he never showed signs before - maybe she was covering for him. And will still be embedded in the FO throughout 8 with a final confrontation with Hux.
    2. Since she gave in so easily and lowered the shields she is either on the run from the First Order and will have a vendetta against fin for ruining her life and go after him. Or was highly punished, maybe even demoted and will hold it against Finn.
    If she is going to continue on to Episode 8 she needs something to drive her actions, I look at TFA as her set-up and introduction. She would make the perfect antagonist for Finn. Rey has Kylo, Luke I assume has Snoke.

    Ugh, no thanks. This is like the nemesis version of 'pair the spares'. Rey and Kylo are doing their own thing better have someone distract Finn while the important characters do their thing.

    If Finn and Phasma do encounter each other, which is quite likely, then I dearly hope the confrontation is over quickly with Phasma getting dumped somewhere again, preferably a grave. Finn deserves better than Captain Chrome.

    Considering how well-received she was even though she was pretty much like Boba Fett, id say she would get probably double her TFA screentkme and maybe more insight into her character unless they go the OT a route literally speaking and give her LESS lines .
