Back In July, it was reported that Star Wars: Episode 8 had finished shooting. However, it’s been revealed that Lupita Nyong’o, who plays Maz Kanata, hasn’t shot any scenes, which may mean that she won’t feature in the film at all.

Nyong’o told Collider that she is yet to do any work on Episode 8:

“I haven’t worked with him (director, Rian Johnson) yet; I’ve yet to shoot. That’s in my future.”
