what was the point of even adding this fucking character?
>>63881846
They needed some wise old fucker who was so wise and old that they would have the lightsaber of the greatest Jedi hero in the galaxy
To make up a role for the niggress that plays it.

>>63881846
She's a ripoff of Edna Mode and The Oracle
Pottery.
>>63881881
Shit, she had Obi-wan's lightsaber, too?
>>63881846
Yoda, diversity edition.
>ancient being with profound knowledge of the universe
>runs a cantina out of her house and is on screen for 6 minutes
>>63881846
I think they should have switched her with Max von Sydow character.
>>63881846
Because they remade episode 4, and they needed the Mos Eisley Cantina scene, but wanted to tweak it just a bit. Luke... er, I mean Rey... needed a wise old character to point her toward the force. This is Obi-Wan.
>>63881995
Did she survive that attack? Do we know?
>>63882020
Was about to post something to the same degree.
I could definitely see him playing the role of some old, wise, ancient dude much better than a little CG muppet.
>>63882067
>closure
>force awakens
pick one
>>63881846
need a strong matriarchal character because gotta have stronk women
this movie was such garbage I am astounded that so many people like it.

>>63882080
I was so fucking hyped with him being in this, only to get a goddamned glorified cameo.
the real shame is that her voice was shit tier
So they can pass their stupid Bechdel Test, that is literally the entire reason
>>63882252
I noticed this too
>>63881846
Exposition and wise old advice needed to explicitly state character motivations and development arcs and push things along.
Really she didn't need to be in the movie to say out loud what the audience should have picked up on already.
So they could have a female Yoda but with none of his flaws obviously.
>>63882155
jesus how is he so fat
More masturbation material, why else.
>>63881846
they needed to throw the vfx houses a bone
>>63882252
how the fuck does that shit even apply to fucking science fiction ??? what if her species is martiarchial ? do they even have sexes ???
>>63882155
LOL THOSE CHILDBEARING HIPS

Luke, did I ever tell you about Maz Katana? She's a 1000 year old being with a pretty deep understanding of the Force. She even offers to train young people in the ways of the Force! Even smugglers like Han Solo or Boba Fett have heard of her. I'm surprised she survived Order 66. You know, this whole time I thought Yoda and I were the only people left other than Vader who knew of the Force. She's the proprietor of a cantina, shouldn't be too hard to find.
You should go see her... Or not. I just won't tell you about her.
>>63881846
Remember how Yoda is 900 years old? Well Maz is 1000 years old. TAKE THAT LUCAS YOU FUCK
>>63881995
So she is something like Dexter Jettster?
>>63881846
Fucking awful character.
It was around the Maz cantina scene that I realised the movie was only going downhill after Jakku.
The beat-for-beat copy and paste of Ep4 and the constant pandering and fan service shifted the movie towards mediocre and forgettable instead of enjoyable despite its flaws.
>>63882977
Imagine if Dexter had Qui-Gons light saber in the refrigerator in the back, and he also was experienced in the ways of the Force.
>>63881846
she looks stupid and all her lines were stupid
>>63881846
Womyn can be anything! They can be Yoda too.
>>63882813
She isn't a Jedi, though.
Order 66 was just for clone troopers to kill Jedis.
>>63882080
Diversity...
Max von Sydow is too problematic.
>>63881846
Literally Dexter Jettster tier. She even owned a cantina as well.
Why do so many restaurant owners know the secrets of the galaxy?
>>63883278
She looked really stupid.
>>63881846
She reminded me of Kreia from KOTOR 2
Actually, the whole map plot reminded me of KOTOR 1.
Now I see why they made all that stuff non-canon; so they could pick and choose from it as they wished.
She existed to basically retcon the midichlorians out of existence and remind people what the Force is actually about
>>63882813
>Copypasta
I can't tell if you're trolling or if you legit weren't around the dozen other times this has been posted and torn apart.
>>63881883
This. And she was fucking terrible. She is just a pretty black face.
>>63882252
I don't think so...they could have covered beach del with Rey and Leia. It would have made more sense for the character to have been Sydow returning from the beginning, but eh.
Boiks down to they just wanted a Yoda figure.
>>63883262
Luke's blue lightsaber fell out of the bottom of Cloud City in Empire. It's not unbelievable that some scavenger found it on the surface of the planet and it made its way to someone who deals in illegal ships and weapons.
>>63881846
I thought she was kind of cool. Like a weird old grandma or something.
>>63885572
>surface of the planet
bespin is a gas giant. theres a reason they live on cloud city and thats because the surface is full of toxic fucking gas
>>63881846
Disney's Yoda
>>63885656
Yeah, and Cloud City was the base of operations for gas mining. Are you saying Bespin has no solid surface at all? If that's the case, maybe it landed on a mining ship, or was floating around down there and a gas miner picked it up. Still not implausible.
>>63884608
pretty based then
>>63885838
It never fell out of the city to begin with. It was at the bottom of Cloud City. It never reached Bespin cause it didn't go one of those tubes like Luke did.
Personally, I'm glad we got 10 minutes of a shitty cgi alien instead of a whole movie of a cgi alien like Phantom Menace.
And frankly C3PO was annoying as shit in the original trilogy.
> Yodas 900?
> Mine is 1000
Take that Lucas!
>>63885973
It did. Watch the movie again, Luke lands in a tube next to his lightsaber and it falls out of the city with him.
>>63886543
No it didn't. We don't see the saber after Vader chops his arm off. What you see falling from Bespin after Luke grabs for that antenna is probably his blaster.
It's a bit improbable that it ended up in the same tube as Luke did.
Listen, some Force Awakens Visual Dictionary says that it never fell from Cloud City. Trust me, I thought the bloddy thing ended up on the planet itself for years. But, Kasdan & Abrams changed it.
JJ confirmed hack

>>63881846
So there was a reason to have Andy Serkis in the credits.
Was I hearing things right? Did she say she was Chewbacca's wife? The fuck?
>>63887356
Interracial sex propaganda
>>63887356
She called Chewbacca her boyfriend, but I took it not to be literal. More like a friendly way of saying "Where's that wookiee who always gives me a hard time?"
