8 Biggest Unsolved Mysteries In The Star Wars Universe
4. How Did Maz Kanata Obtain Luke's Lightsaber?
The last time we saw Luke Skywalker's famous blue lightsaber before its reemergence in The Force Awakens, it was falling into the abyss below Cloud City.
Without explanation, it turned up in the possession of Maz Kanata in Episode VII, which begs the question of how in the blazes she got her hands on it. A Jedi laser sword isn't the kind of thing you simply stumble upon.
Much of Maz's scenes were cut from The Force Awakens, including footage fleshing out her Force abilities and her role in the Resistance, so her past is largely unknown.
There have been hints that the character will have a bigger role to play in The Last Jedi, so perhaps the full story behind her past history with the lightsaber will be revealed in the next movie.
