Star Wars Casts Doubt on Captain Rex Theory

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

By Jennifer McDonough

A popular theory regarding the fan-favorite clone trooper, Captain Rex, and a background character from Return of the Jedi might not hold as much water as it used to.

In the Star Wars Original Trilogy capper Return of the Jedi, the heroes venture to the forest moon of Endor to disable the Empire’s shield generator and help to obliterate the second Death Star.

The Rebel Alliance dispatches a team to Endor, consisting of Luke, Leia, and the other main characters, as well as a squad of ground troops. And among those soldiers is an older man with a distinctive white beard.

Then, several decades later, Captain Rex cropped up on the animated series Star Wars Rebels, sporting facial hair that made him look quite similar to that specific Endor trooper. This, of course, led fans to speculate and theorize that these two men were one and the same. But are they? Perhaps not, according to newly-revealed merchandise…

From The Pages Of Star Wars Insider: Captain Phasma And The Galaxy’s Greatest Villains

Here’s the latest from: starwars.com

Go behind the scenes to discover how the most terrifying Star Wars villains were brought to the screen in a new collection of in-depth interviews.

Played by Gwendoline Christie in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Captain Phasma is the cruel commander of the First Order’s stormtroopers. In an exclusive excerpt from Star Wars: The Galaxy’s Greatest Villains, a special edition of Star Wars: Insider arriving next week, Christie and author Kelly Thompson, who penned Marvel’s Star Wars: Captain Phasma, discuss their love of the stylish chrome-plated soldier.

Christie’s first day on set proved to be phenomenally exciting.

Gwendoline Christie: I walked onto set in the costume. It was a dream come true! I was greeted by such a warm group of people that had been working together for months on this really thrilling project. J.J. [Abrams] and I went through the scene. My heart was racing. I was so overexcited. But nothing prepared me for when I saw the entire set behind me, lit up, and full of characters I recognized from the Star Wars films that I was shown as a little girl.

While Captain Phasma’s chromium armor was clearly a type of stormtrooper costume, it had a style all of its own.

Gwendoline Christie: The costume was absolutely sensational. It was restrictive, but I think it gives us an insight into Captain Phasma. This is a woman who is wearing armor, but her femininity is still displayed. She doesn’t try to hide it; it only empowers her further.

The costume took around 45 minutes to put on. It certainly made me stand up straight. I had a really fantastic pair of boots underneath it all, which I think gives the foundation of Captain Phasma. They were incredibly well-made and very hard-wearing — sensible but stylish.

When I was a teenager, I used to do a lot of Lecoq mime and physical theatre work, and I also did it at my drama school, Drama Centre London. We had a fantastic movement teacher who, with the use of masks, would release the actor. So, I feel as if I can get away with a lot more than when my own dear face is exposed….

Gwendoline Christie Wants to Return as Captain Phasma

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Gwendoline Christie would love to return to the Star Wars galaxy as Captain Phasma; she admitted as much in a recent interview.

Speaking to Empire Magazine, Christie was asked about the possibility of reprising the role of Captain Phasma in a future Star Wars project. While it’s impossible for her to appear in anything after the events of The Last Jedi, Empire raised the possibility of a live action adaption of the character’s story in the comics, which go into more detail about her origins in the First Order.

I haven’t read the comics but, I mean, it’s Star Wars! I would absolutely love that. There was a template for a character that people got really excited about. It would be smashing if they felt that it was worthwhile to explore, along with some fabulous action….
