10 Dumbest Things In Star Wars: Sequel Trilogy

3. A Good Question, For Another Time - Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens

A slight break from taking aim at some of the ridiculousness found in Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker now, with this next entry focusing on that silly time when Maz Kanata teased fans with the biggest mystery of the sequels adventure.

Episode VII: The Force Awakens not only introduced viewers to Rey, Finn, and other new faces like the pirate queen Maz Kanata, it also saw the return of an item just as iconic as any member of the original and prequel trilogies: Anakin & Luke Skywalker's lightsaber.

But how did the little old alien Kanata come to possess such a legendary laser sword?

Well, that's exactly what Han Solo wanted to know in the feature. Only, instead of just chucking out a simple but intriguing response, Maz shrugged off that massive question and told the group she'd share another time.

Just like Boyega's thing he needed to tell Rey, that revelation never actually ended up on-screen, though. Because J. J. Abrams seemingly just gets a kick out of teasing fans with things he has no intention of fully explaining in his Star Wars movies.

The director did actually intend on originally revealing this secret in a montage during Episode VII, but noted during the movie's director's commentary that it was a story they could just tell another time (via Yahoo!).

Before then proceeding to infuriatingly do anything but that. Cheers, J. J.
