KELLY THOMPSON ON WHAT COMES AFTER THE TRASH COMPACTOR IN MARVEL’S CAPTAIN PHASMA

Via Starwars.com:

THE WRITER OF MARVEL’S HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED SERIES DISCUSSES WHAT COMES NEXT FOR THE FIRST ORDER CAPTAIN.

There’s no way that was the end of Captain Phasma. Characters as commanding and cool as the chrome-armored warrior don’t come around very often, so fans were relieved when it was confirmed that Phasma survived her trash-compactor sentence. Now, Marvel’s four-issue Captain Phasma mini-series — part of the Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi publishing program — will pick up where The Force Awakens left off, and show us what Phasma did next. Marking today’s release of the highly-anticipated issue #1, StarWars.com caught up over e-mail with writer Kelly Thompson about her goals for the series, learning more about who the captain is beneath the armor, and how the First Order leader feels about trash compactors overall.

StarWars.com: Phasma became an instant fan-favorite because she’s very visually powerful. But with this series, you’re in the unique position of getting to really shine a light on her as a character. What does that opportunity mean to you and what are you hoping to achieve?

Kelly Thompson: Phasma is a character with huge potential and it was such an honor to be given the reigns to tell her story, or at least part of it. I’m so grateful that Lucasfilm and Marvel put their trust in me. My hope is simply to tell the best story I can, one that hopefully excites the fans and is true to the character.
