When asked if Phasma's death would give Finn a sense of closure, Boyega said, "Emotional closure, sure. I don't think about her at night and stuff...Phasma, yeah, she dead."

Game of Thrones actor Gwendoline Christie brought the character of Captain Phasma to life in the previous two Star Wars installments, introducing the world to her metallic armor and "no-nonsense" attitude. The chrome-suited Stormtrooper served as Finn's superior officer during his time with the First Order, becoming his main antagonist. However, while it was thought that she died on Starkiller Base at the end of The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi revealed Phasma had survived, resulting in a climactic battle between Finn and his former boss.

Nevertheless, according to Boyega, Phasma's days of cheating death are over, and now, the Stormtrooper-turned-rebel must face his next set of obstacles.
