TR-8R be made a recurring antagonist in Star Wars episodes 8 and 9

The issue

Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a excellent film. Without a doubt, one of the many highpoints of the film was the fight between the lone riot control storm trooper (lovingly dubbed TR-8R by the fans) and Finn. This fight was so effective because it was so grounded compared to the rest of the film. There were no force powers, blasters or one liners. It was two men, two troopers, two conflicting ideologies fighting to the death and it was cut too short.

I represent the fans in stating that the series would benefit from a recurring Stormtrooper villain to if not replace, complement Captain Phasma.

It would be unwise to repeat the same mistakes as the prequel trilogy. In killing Darth Maul in the first film, the trilogy killed any chance of having a compelling and iconic antagonist. We're counting on you Disney, you're our only hope!
