Fascinated with the advances in special effects technology bringing diverse aliens to believable life in a saga she'd loved since childhood, Lupita Nyong'o was more than keen to sign on to the resurrected Star Wars sequels to play/inhabit the secretive but Resistance loyal ally and charismatic barkeep of her former place on Takodana: Maz Kanata, a worthy continuance of the quirky and maverick characters the likes of Yoda from the Classic Trilogy.
With her 'place' sneak-attack destroyed by the First Order in The Force Awakens, and having some 'union difficulties' to sort out with a jet pack and a handy blaster during The Last Jedi, it'll be interesting to see what Maz gets up to next for 2019's eagerly awaited The Rise of Skywalker.
