A children's book may have just confirmed several 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' rumors and revealed Maz Kanata's story arc!
[SPOILERS AHEAD]
According to Making Star Wars, the new 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Look and Find book contains plenty of little details that confirms the identity of one character and a history between the Pirate Queen and a certain scruffy-looking nerfherder.
One of the confirmed details is the name of Max von Sydow's character. In the book, Resistance pilot Poe Dameron meets with Lor San Tekka in Jakku but the arrival of the First Order interrupts them. Lor San Tekka's message is hidden in BB-8, who is sent away.
The 'Star Wars' Look and Find book also reveals that Maz Kanata is actually Han Solo's old mentor. She seeks out the Millennium Falcon captain to find BB-8 and return the droid to the Resistance. However, a spy informs the First Order of their whereabouts so Captain Phasma decides to attack the Pirate Queen's castle.
But what happens to the new heroes of the movie? During the battle of Takodana, Leia Organa's X-wing squadron manages to save the day, but Rey and BB-8 are still captured by the First Order. Finn insists on saving them so he, Han Solo and Chewbacca crash the Millennium Falcon into the Starkiller base.
The children's book also confirms that the Resistance is based in the planet D'Qar.
Wait, no Kylo Ren or Luke Skywalker? It seems like the franchise wants to let the two mysterious characters keep their secrets to themselves until the film is finally released.
'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' is directed by J.J. Abrams and stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Gwendoline Christie and Domnhall Gleeson. Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill also return to the franchise.
'Episode VII' will finally crash into theaters on December 18.
