10 Star Wars Characters With Most Wasted Potential
6. Maz Kanata
Oh boy, the sequel trilogy.
This list is just going to be piling on Disney's cash-grabbing, but just know that characters from those films could have filled all ten spots.
It's impossible to ignore the confusing mess that was Maz Kanata though; a character who was part Yoda, part Jabba the Hutt, and part Minion.
Introduced in The Force Awakens, Maz is the proprietor of an outlaw tavern frequented by Han Solo. The smuggler asks his diminutive friend for help, which is where she first encounters Rey.
Maz attempts to give the young woman a gift; Luke Skywalker's old lightsaber. Do we ever find out how she got a hold of the weapon that fell from Cloud City all those years ago?
Do we heck.
Maz then turns up via hologram in The Last Jedi and essentially serves as a substitute Leia in The Rise of Skywalker. Despite being set up as a ancient, all-knowing character, she is reduced to little more than a background extra by the trilogy's end.
Seriously, this was the best use of Lupita Nyong'o you could think of?
