Thanks toEntertainment Weekly’snew cover forThe Last Jedi , a bounty of selective information on the eighth episode of theStar Warssaga has been revealed , include raw particular aboutLuke , Rey , Finn , Poe and Leia , Snoke , and more .

The final reveal from EW finally addresses a character reference we ’ve visualise very lilliputian of in merchandising forThe Last Jedi -Maz Kanata . While the move seizure character bring to life sentence by Lupita Nyong’o only made her first appearance in 2015’sThe Force Awakens , it was immediately clear she held a significant place in the largerStar Warsstory . Not only is she on familiar terms with the role of the original trilogy , even possessing Luke ’s old lightsaber - before it was discovered by Rey - but she ’s also over 1,000 years older , meaning she ’s one of the few characters that can provide any form of penetration on the larger galactic history , and not just the Clone Wars and rise and fall of the Empire , but hundreds of years before that even - a time inStar Warshistory devotee have hardly been exposed to yet .

The practiced news is that Maz has an"important moment in the spotlight"and may even"deliver important information,“but alas that ’s all go bad to happen with a   smaller part than her last appearance , meaning her full riches of knowledge may ride out on hold untilEpisode 9 , or even a Quran or animated show .

Even though she does n’t have much screen meter , director Rian Johnson was thrilled to have her in the movie :

"

fan looking ahead to see more of the small orange alien might be let down by this word , but with so much happening inThe Last Jedi , it ’s significant the story stays focalise on the big lineament . Besides , even Yoda , who ’s purpose Maz ’s is clearly compare to , ultimately did n’t have much screentime inEmpire Strikes Back , and even less inReturn of the Jedi , yet his mark was clearly lead on the franchise .
