    During the panel an audience member asked Dave about whether Maz Kanata would appear in Rebels... Dave was his usual evasive self but he did have a bit of a twinkle in his eye and said that he and the woman that asked the question were on the same wavelength and that she'd be good at this kinda thing.

    Not a YES, I know, but this can be compared to the more definitive NO's to Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn.

    Thoughts?

    I'd LOVE to see Maz show up!

    I'd prefer as minor connections to TFA as possible

    It would make sense to see Maz though, she's like 1000 years old, the crew could stop off at her bar or something lol

    I would have preferred no connections to TFA at all, but the Crossguard ligthsaber was a tolerable exception.

    Maz Kanata has flags of Hondo Ohnaka and Vizago in her castle- so definitely possible-(while naturally those were hidden easter eggs and not really establishing canonical connection per se) I think Filoni's lack of definite no- answer means that she is either appearing or she is at least considered so he was careful not to spoil anything.

    I'm interested why clearer connection would be so hard for you to tolerate? Just curious- even if I hate some material having a small hint or nod towards it doesn't bother me.

    I wouldn't want to see her, but a nod would be alright. Like Hondo says to the Ghost crew "I have just come back from my good friend Maz's castle" or something like that.

    I interpreted Filoni's response as... suggestive, as well.

    As to an actual appearance by Maz in Rebels? I think it could be alright. I certainly wouldn't miss it, should she never appear. And to be honest, there is a list of characters I'd sooner see show up in the series.

    But that said, depending on what angle they approach things from, Maz showing up could turn out to be something really great.

    So who knows? I'm open to it.

    What about the Church of the Force? We may see them in Rogue One!

    I think the Story Group intentionally introduced her as being a way of connecting all future SW stories with one recurring neutral character/place to congregate, so I expect her to pop up in pretty much everything.

    I would rather see that she is there in the background but doesn't pop up often. She hears stories from people and sees things (from their eyes) but is not much involved.

    Maybe we see how Hondo's banner got there.
