22. Why The Red Face?
This is officially the second glimpse at this striking red faced monster, who was featured as part of the Vanity Fair promotional material in a group scene. From that shoot, it seems likely he's part of Maz Kanata's pirates crew.
More interesting than the close-up of his face (and even the revelation of that creepy voice) is the glimpse in the background at the inspirations that went into his design. They include the traditional "little grey men" alien design favoured by rum-soaked Southern Americans to monkeys to what appears to be a particularly shocked looking aye-aye.
