Spoiler: show
In all of the trailers and TV spots, there hasn’t been much seen from Nyong’o’s character, one of the few completely CGI creations in the film named Maz Kanata. We’ve heard her voice, but aside from one quick glimpse in an ad (which has pretty well be scrubbed from the internet) and appearing on a poster, she’s remained relatively hidden.

According to a new report from the Sun, she had trouble with the motion capture process, and her role may have been reduced as a result. A source tells the tabloid:
The CGI seemed to be what Lupita struggled with, perhaps because it meant she felt less of a connection to the character.

There was a general sense that something wasn’t working so a lot of her scenes ended up being either re-worked or cut. Unfortunately she just didn’t end up delivering.
I saw that rumor in a couple snippets. She was on the daily show last night and didnt seem too excited about Star Wars in general. She did say the current play she is doing was more difficult than filming star wars though.

I'm seeing this in 3D IMAX on the 17th at 5.30pm, in Liverpool. To say my girlfriend is excited is a drastic understatement. She LOVES Star Wars.
