The Episode VII team has released the concept art of Maz Kanata, Lupita Nyong' O's character in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." The image has made its way online.


IGN reported that Indie Revolver is the source of the concept art of Maz Kanata, the same website who released the first look of "The Force Awakens Chrome Trooper." It is obvious why Abrams chose to use CGI to create Maz for real, said reports. At the same time, the production team is putting all their efforts to put in practical effects such as those inside Kanata's castle.

Maz was a puppet like Yoda in "Empire Strikes Back," but as motion picture technology has changed throughout the years, the production can easily make photo-realistic beings from an actor's state of the art digital effects and physical performance.

IO9 reported that this is the world's first real glance at Kanata but reportedly not her debut, though. Meanwhile, speculations are circulating the web that Rey will be on a journey to search for Luke, after she discovers serious hand holding of the lightsaber.

Talking about a new character, Carrie Fisher revealed that her daughter Billie Lourd will not play Princess Leia's younger version in "The Force Awakens." In that case, what is her role in the film?

SW fans would still need to find out what Lucas Films got for them, although another part of the curtain of secrecy has been revealed, letting fanatics speculate about the plot and saga of the much awaited seventh episode.

"Star Wars 7" is the first film of a new trilogy, which the cast includes Andy Serkis, Anthony Daniels, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Peter Mayhew, Max Von Sydow, along with new actor John Boyega and actress Daisy Ridley.

"The Force Awakens" is set to premiere on Dec. 18, 2015.
