STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS - Possible Details on Captain Phasma
Last week, Lucasfilm revealed the names of the characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens that were presented to us in the trailer. Disney registered the trademarks of those names, including BB-8, Poe Dameron, Kylo Ren, Rey, and Finn. Apparently, another name has been trademarked, and it's one that hasn't been seen on any official announcement. That name is Captain Phasma.
There's no solid details on who this character actually is, but Badass Digest suggests that the character could be being played by Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), and according to their sources, Captain Phasma is "a stormtrooper commander who wears chrome armor and is hunting down deserter Finn." This seems to go along with details about the film that we've heard in the past. We've even seen concept art for this chrome stormtrooper that you can check out here if you want.
There's no confirmtion of this at the moment, but the pieces of the puzzle do seem to fit together nicely. If it is true, it's the perfect part for Christie, who would make a badass and ruthless stormtrooper commander.
Stitch Kingdom is the site who found the name, and they point out that a Phasma character does exist in Star Wars fan fiction. In that aspect, she's a ten year old daughter of an Imperial Admiral, and she appears in a story called "Tarkin's Fist." I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, or a way for J.J. Abrams to pay homage to the story, which is apparently a big deal in fan fiction circles.
