Here is an interesting theory stating Maz Kanata had a long history with the Skywalker lineage and appeared in the phantom menace. Here are a few astounding images: You probably didn't see anything but let us take a closer look. And voila, here she is! Well, the resemblance is uncanny to say the least! I think there is something deeper to this theory and it does hold a chance that it could be a way on bridging the ST to the PT. She is 1000+ years old and is in possession of Luke's old Lightsaber so this theory does hold a chance at being true. What does everyone think?
Hmmm, could be an interesting coincidence but that statue really does look like Maz Kanata - shape, glasses, clothing, and all!
I have a theory. Maz is none other than the mother of Ackmena, infamous night shift bartender of the Mos Eisley Cantina! I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out, but it's such a great nod to some forgotten Star Wars history. JJ is so clever! Scroll for proof! Ackema Maz Leaked photo of Maz and Ackema!!!
