An unreleased deleted scene from Star Wars: The Force Awakens may shine a bit of light on one of the film's more mysterious characters, Maz Kanata (played by Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o).

The bit comes from an interview with Collider , which grilled members of the movie's visual effects staff on what was cut from the final film. Obviously, the description of said cuts get into some minorterritory. Turn back now if you want to remain unsullied.The scene that SFX supervisor Chris Corbould describes takes place in Maz Kanata's cantina. After the stormtroopers invade the remaining heroes make a break for it through tunnels beneath her establishment.With the stormtroopers giving chase "Maz uses her powers to collapse the ceiling."The scene does a lot to reframe what little we know about Maz. It's obvious in the theatrical release that she's Force -sensitive, but this scene makes it absolutely clear that she can wield it as well.It's an interesting tidbit that raises even more questions about an already mysterious character. Perhaps the rest of the deleted scenes promised for the movie's eventual Blu-ray release will raise even more. Just don't expect an extended cut Blu-ray release, according to director J.J. Abrams.
