Character Background
Maz Kanata is a wise, ancient pirate queen and tavern owner on the planet Takodana, known for acquiring Anakin and Luke Skywalker's lightsaber and giving it to Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Design Notes
Features a specialized, non-standard molded head piece to accurately capture her unique alien anatomy and oversized goggles, a common technique for alien characters in the LEGO Star Wars theme.
Similar Minifigures
Other alien characters from the Sequel Trilogy era, such as Unkar Plutt or BB-8.
Collectibility
Moderate collectibility among Star Wars sequel trilogy completionists and fans of obscure alien characters.
History
Released exclusively in one set in 2016 alongside the wave for The Force Awakens, she has not been remade since.
Interesting Facts
Maz Kanata was originally envisioned via motion capture played by Lupita Nyong'o, and her LEGO form successfully translates her distinct facial features using a single specialized mold.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Sequel Trilogy characters like Rey, Finn, and Han Solo, ideally recreating the castle scene from Takodana.
Modification Potential
The specialized head piece is difficult to repurpose for custom minifigures, but the torso works well for generic galactic tavern patrons or Outer Rim inhabitants.
Overall Assessment
A well-designed, unique alien figure featuring a specialized mold that captures the essence of the character well, making it a fun addition for any Star Wars fan.
