She was there on set, and we did capture sessions afterwards as well. And given her mobility, and given the role that she played, it became clear that that was one creature where we should use the tool of CG. Maz needed to look and feel and be just like one of those creatures. Abrams told Entertainment Weekly in November 2015, "I wanted to do as a puppet originally, but once we figured out the things that she was required to do, it felt like performance capture was the way to go." With most of the other creatures in her scenes being practical effects, Abrams noted: For her performance in The Force Awakens, Nyong'o was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress.Ĭharacter Concept and creation While Maz's small role in the trilogy has been criticized, Nyong'o's performance and the technical aspects of the character have been praised by critics.
