- "Actually, Phasma. I'll take your blaster. It's good and intimidating."
- ―General Armitage Hux borrowing Phasma's blaster to execute Admiral Brooks
Phasma's blaster rifle was the personal Sonn-Blas F-11D blaster rifle used by Captain Phasma. The blaster featured a buttstock, chromium finish, and a recurved trigger guard for a two-handed grip.
Description[]
Captain Phasma carried her customized blaster rifle while performing her duties for the First Order. The blaster rifle was claid in salvaged[6] chromium to match its owner's distinctive armor. However, Phasma's blaster rifle lacked the full trigger guard standard for an F-11D blaster.[7] The barrel of Phasma's blaster rifle had heat dispersal vents, while it also had an extended stock which contained a gas reservoir.[8]
History[]
- "All this time we've spent together, have you really learned nothing? I'm a survivor. No matter what the cost. Today the costs is loose ends."
"What loose end? I'm not a loose end!" - ―Phasma, before executing TN-3465
By the time she returned to her homeworld of Parnassos to create her armor a year after joining the First Order, Phasma had secretly ordered the blaster and it was already tuned to her gloves.[10]
In 34 ABY, Phasma carried her blaster at Jakku and used it under the orders of Kylo Ren to execute some of the remaining villagers that survived the attack of the stormtroopers following Lor San Tekka's death. She also carried it when she was thrown into the trash compactor of Starkiller Base.[4] After escaping from the compactor, Phasma attempted to use her rifle to take out Lieutenant Sol Rivas, but as the base was being destroyed around her, failed to do so.[11]
Later that same year, Phasma carried her blaster aboard the Supremacy, the flagship of Supreme Leader Snoke. She prepared to oversee Finn's execution for his treason against the First Order, but the Raddus, General Leia Organa's flagship commanded by Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, crashed into the Supremacy, splitting it.[12] Finn later used the BL-155 Laser ax of an executioner trooper to destroy Phasma's blaster, causing her to use her baton to fight him.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Phasma's blaster rifle was originally designed as a heavy stormtrooper weapon for Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. For Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, the blaster was redesigned and featured a slight color change, making it more in line with the chrome of Phasma's armor. According to Matthew Savage, the blaster seen in The Force Awakens was more gold than the one of The Last Jedi, though he isn't sure if director Rian Johnson requested the blaster to be more chrome.[13]
