    At this point from what we’ve seen I’m going on to say she is dead. However, I definitely see an opening for JJ to bring her back if he wants to. Of the two characters we see die (Snoke being the other) I think Phasma is the one who could be still alive. Personally at their point I hope they keep her dead but it won’t be the end of the world for me if they bring her back.

    They should kill her off, she's really redundant. Finn's antagonist is Hux in the next movie. No need to have Phasma running around 'cuz she looks cool'.

    I 100% appreciate the origin of the character "Idk...she looked cool so we put her in"
    That said, it only goes so far, let us not Boba Fett another character

    Let these guys have their show!

    I do think it would be funny if Kylo would decide to clone Phasma into an army to counter Hux's control of the Stormtrooper corps. Stormtroopers with chrome armour would be cool!

    I 100% believe JJ or Kasdan thought of the name "Knights of Ren" and just thought it was cool and kept trying to work it in. lol

    A gaggle of clone Phasmas under Hux's control, is the only way I would accept Phasma to return in Episode IX

    Each one in a differently-coloured armour and with a unique ship design. Just like Power Rangers!

    Morph into...A WELL DEVELOPED CHARACTER!

    A large quantities of Phasma should be called a Profusion of Phasma

    I don't think I like how Phasma sounds plural. I like using Phasma as the singular and plural.
    It adds to the confusion and absurdity.

    *in the style of Charlie Murphy and Prince*

    Hux: "How about a little wager. Me....and the Phasma's.......versus you and the Knights of Ren."

    Kylo Ren: "Ahahahha............you're on!"

    Captain Merchandise is just like her boring unsold plastic toy gathering dust on a shop shelf.

    Oh no, I like Phasma! In a film like this you kinda need a character like her, totally inconsequential but cool looking and a perfect toy. She’s just part of the look of Star Wars, like bb8 or the Millenium Falcon. Let her live, sure that tin she’s wearing looks super resintant and who really cares or even remembers the specifics of her fall into the flames.

    Apparently the DVD/Blu-Ray release will give us an alternate Phasma death scene, so it’s possible that will give us a little more context as to where she’s at after the events of this film.

    I think it would be cool to see her come back looking like a monster, all burned up and badly damaged, because we saw that she had a clean, beautiful face underneath the mask in the film. That could be her motivator—she’s driven by the fact that Finn and the Resistance did this to her, and now she wants revenge.

    However, as much as I love Gwendoline Christie and Captain Phasma, I really think they’ve wasted this character’s potential too much for her to realistically come back. Sure, they could explain her somehow surviving that, but at this point, it’s better off to leave her dead unless you’re going to bring her back and make her a total badass.

    I think at this point we need to establish a new SW trope - "a cool-looking character that is a total wuss in the films" with such "honorable" members as General Grevious, Boba Fett and from this trilogy - Captain Phasma.

    There is a possibility that these are the students from the Jedi temple that Ben took with him, so yes, I would love to see these guys again in action.

    I hope she will be back she had some great character development from the force awakens and books/comics. I feel like at the moment it’s all slightly wasted but not entirely sure. I’m undecided. I think it would cool to add her back into 9.like you guys say maybe at the start where we see here hanging it see her escape. This could potentially set her up for later on in the film and therefore she could have a greater role and be important the finale of the sequel trilogy.
