Game Of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie tells Star Wars fans if they’ll get to see more Captain Phasma

Rory Cashin

“It was almost too shiny….”

You may know her as Brienne from Game Of Thrones, but Gwendoline Christie also rocked up The Force Awakens as the super-shiny killer Captain Phasma, in a role that was rumoured to originally to be played by Benedict Cumberbatch before they decided to switch up the gender of the role.

She has returned for The Last Jedi, and we got to talk to her about just how difficult it is to keep a shiny suit like that so shiny.

Turns out if we rewatch the movie and sit through the end credits, there will be a couple of names assigned to that very job: keeping Phasma shiny.

There’s also the matter of whether or not fans will get to see more of her in this movie than they did in The Force Awakens, in which she quickly became a fan-favourite, not unlike a modern-day Jango Fett.

Check our chats in full below.

In case you missed it, here are our chats with The Last Jedi villains played by Andy Serkis and Domhnall Gleeson, as well as the hero of the hour, played by Daisy Ridley.

We were also lucky enough to sit down with the movie’s writer and director Rian Johnson.

And, while we know there is no way that you’ve missed this, here is the trailer for The Last Jedi, which is playing in Irish cinemas right now.
