Captain Phasma is a survivor at any cost. In this 2017 mini-series from Marvel, she proves it by pursuing a target to cover her actions on Starkiller Base by any means necessary.
Captain Phasma is a ruthless officer of the First Order that commands through fear and intimidation. However, she has an even bigger character trait that she keeps secret at all cost: she is a survivor. During the events of The Force Awakens, she brings down the shields to Starkiller Base under duress. However, after being thrown in the garbage chute by Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Finn, she manages her escape as Starkiller Base begins to crumble around her. Phasma is no fool, and she knows she must cover her tracks if she wants to continue to serve in the First Order. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we take a look at Captain Phasma (2017) from Marvel comics and how exactly she did that.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on Captain Phasma,
- Captain Phasma’s defining characteristic: she is a survivor,
