Is Jyn Erso Doomed to Become Captain Phasma? The Next Big Star Wars Theory

"What will you do when they catch you? What will you do if they break you?" a character's voiceover asks in the teaser trailer. "If you continue to fight, what will you become?" The heavy insinuation in these lines is easy to pick out: if they catch you, you're in danger.

The Galactic Empire — and the dark side itself, for that matter — has a strong pull. Stormtroopers are brain-washed former residents of scores of planets. As we learn in Episodes I through III, Darth Vader wasn't always evil but eventually succumbs to the dark side.
