    Phasma will be back, that's given. She survived destruction of the SKB in the trash compactor, so she also easily survived the partial destruction of Supremacy. Those flames? Pff, nothing more than a convenient source of heat inside the cold Supremacy (Snoke is a cool guy and likes to show it in every aspect). Phasma is woman of steel and can't be defeated by some random ex stormtrooper. :p Only the best of Jedi knights can dare to think about killing her.

    I think IX will begin with her (armorless) defecting to the resistance

    Phasma is dead. At least she did something.
    Unlike other masked villains who look awesome but don't meet the hype.

    We saw her fall in the flames but don’t know where she went. I think it would be cool if seeing her eye was a beginning for her. That we (thru Finn) have seen her humanity.

    I give it 50/50. The NEU really hyped her up, but they'd need to explain in the next film how she defined the "falling into flames," trope for the casuals as most of them won't understand the "Much Survivor, many defeats, few shame," meme that us book nerds get.

    After my 2nd viewing last night I realise that is posible we see Phasma in IX.
    Rose shot her in her chest and nothing happened. The armor is very strong and I dont think .those.flames can do so.much arm to her. Also she probably fell in some other hangar, took a ship.and ran away.

    She's absolutely completely definitely dead. ;)

    I wasn't so sure, but after my second viewing, I'm positive she's not dead. I think them showing her humanity through the hole in her helmet was vital, though, as now she may come back burned up and rather monster-ish. It may serve as a way of fueling her desire for revenge on the Resistance. If it allows her to finally do something (I still don't think she did enough in The Last Jedi), I'm completely on board with it. She has so much potential and I'd love to see her kick some ass in Episode IX.

    While I certainly get the argument that can be made for her surviving the fall and the fire. I feel like/hope she is dead.

    If nothing else use it as fuel for Finn to remember that no matter who you are fighting, no matter what side they are on, there is a person behind the armor. Scared, fighting for their lives.

    I was glad she was back for VIII, but coming back again would be overkill for me. Let her die.

    I agree on this point. I love her premise as a character and love Gwen who plays her. But as much and I feel she was under used and she is Kinda the Boba Fett of this trilogy it would really be a disservice if she comes back a third time...sadly my vote is let her die only for pure and strong story telling. If everyone came back from incredible odds there would be no stakes...

    I really hope she wont be back. In the films she has no story, no motivations (aside from "grrr Finn left the FO!! Must kill him!"), and is not threatening or imposing.

    i reckon she'll survive and will return for ep 9.

    she's Finn's foil and enemy, like Hux is to Poe and Kylo to Rey. she'll be around.

    She'll be back, and in fact she could have a decent role if she returned and then jumped the fence from the FO to at least give the Resistance inside information, and not even have to join them.

    It's disappointing what they have done with her Character. She has been nothing much more than just a no name trooper with shiny armor.

    I was kind of surprised they brought her back for VIII, given how small her role was and how easily she was dispatched. I know I was supposed to be pumped, but her mini-fight with Finn was kind of... unexciting? Ooh, she has... an eye!

    I really like the look and concept of the character, but they completely wasted her twice.

    I completely agree! she was very underused but apparently there is a deleted scene that's going to be on the bluRay that shows more of her and just how dark she is...so shame she was very underused, but she does have a tie in comic and book...so i think let the old bird die...(i did want more)

    Considering how pointless and naff she has been so far it would seem like a waste of screen time bringing her back.
