I thought Maz was fantastic. I don’t get the hate. Especially the “JUST A YODA COPY” complaints. What?
Yoda had a thing for Chewy too? j/k
cyclista - be interesting and fun for Maz to further reference her fondness for Chewy - it’s a good way of the writers fleshing out the characters well - and I hope we see more if in the future films; even if it’s something like Maz winking at him knowingly and him being all shy & coy and running off pretend he’s busy etc.
A bit like where Rey says to Finn ‘why are you holding my hand?’ when on the run - it not only establishes their character, but that bit of interplay, makes the characters a little bit more real, accessible and likeable.
I think it may have been something missing from the Prequels.
