Director Rian Johnson has shared a behind-the-scenes look at Maz Kanata from Star Wars: Episode VIII.
Likewise, Mark Hamill also posted an image of Lupita Nyong’o, the actress providing the motion-capture and voice of Maz Kanata.
It’s possible the picture of the two of them may even suggest Luke Skywalker shares scenes with Maz.
