Disobedient. Disrespectful. Traitor!
#why would they cut this (via @jadelotusflower)
We know why they cut it.
…Though that chrome-plated trooper suit is, by now, firmly a part of the Star Wars iconography, this portfolio is the first time Gwendoline Christie’s Captain Phasma has shown her face. “I think a big part of the allure of her character was just wondering what might be underneath,” Hidalgo explains of keeping the Game of Thrones star helmeted in the first film of the current trilogy. “It was only relatively recently that we wanted to commit to the idea that there was a human under there. The Force Awakens left that question, but as we got further into Last Jedi, as well as some other stories we’re thinking about with Phasma, we had to ask ourselves, ‘All right, do we agree there’s a human under there?’ ”
The definitely human Phasma is also sporting a slick new weapon which, Hidalgo says, “doesn’t have a fancy name yet.” (But it will—these things always do.) Unlike the weapons we’re used to seeing in Star Wars—lightsabers and blasters—Phasma’s accessory is a retractable pole arm that collapses into a smaller, easy to carry form should she ever find herself shoved down a trash compactor again. This weapon, Hidalgo says, has a strong connection to Phasma’s history, which will be explored in a comic-book series out in September. “Her background,” Hidalgo hints, “is more low-tech than many would assume.” [x]

There are rumours, of course.
“She’s horribly scarred.” GN-7486 says in the canteen, piling his plate with nutrient sludge. “Tibanna gas accident. Very tragic.”
“I heard she’s actually a twi’lek who amputated her lekku.” Whispers one comms officer to another. “And she got into the First Order by strangling a krayt dragon with her bare hands.”
“Phasma is actually three ewoks in a suit of armour.” This is said with confidence by a techie, down on the server level. “I saw it on a security feed once. General Hux himself swore me to secrecy, but I can’t live the lie any more.”
The truth? There’s but one person who knows.
“She was… hot.” Rey says, helplessly, as General Organa writes down the briefing and nods sympathetically. “Really, really hot.”
Rey leans forward.
“But, like, in a scary way.” She frowns and Leia’s writing. “Make sure you underline that. Scary hot.”
