A Closer Look At Lupita Nyong'o Becoming Maz Kanata

Maz Kanata was one of the more unique characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but did you know that it was actually Lupita acting in those scenes? The clip below will appear in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens DVD release bonus footage. It shows a behind-the-scenes look at the performance-capture suit used to bring Lupita's Star Wars character, Maz Kanata, to life.

Visual Effects Supervisor Ben Morris explained:

"Lupita could actually perform as a normal human, which suddenly released her."

It's quite amazing to watch something like this happen. The result was a more realistic character for fans to enjoy. Lupita shared the clip with fans earlier this week:

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will release on DVD/Blu-Ray on April 5th.
