Maz Kanata concept art for ‘The Force Awakens’

Jay at Indie Revolver has posted our first clear look at early concept art for Lupita Nyong’o’s character in The Force Awakens, the pirate Maz Kanata. She may be orange and with facial markings in the movie, but this is the direction they’re going in for this performance capture-based character.

Rogue One details
