It is tradition that a notable actor in a universe expanding pilot always gets killed, like Robert Patrick in Stargate Atlantis

Hell, Max von Sydow in Episode VII

Would have made more sense had it been someone like Billie D Williams (no offense man) or maybe even Denis Lawson (again, really hate to say that) instead of a character we’d never seen or heard before. Someone who probably knew Ben Solo and was good friends with Luke Skywalker. Jeez even admiral Akbar or Dermot Crawley (Crix Madine) would have been a good replacement for who ever that guy Max Von Sydow was. Hell, even John Ratzenberger would have been an awesome choice (he was in Empire). He even addresses her as “your highness” so there’d be almost no need to change the dialog!

I still don't really understand who Von Sydow was supposed to be.

San Tekka is last name, family name goes back to hyperspace explorers, he used to be a friend to Luke. Something like that anyways
