[@MisterDutch93]

"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."

They both are really trying to make this tv show true to Star Wars & they are spot on, congratulations!

[@valentexas7115]

I got to see Ming-Na speak in person. She has so much personality and such a beautiful smile. So glamorous, delightful and talented enough to switch gears and play toughest lady. In Shield she was toughest lady on earth. Now she is officially toughest lady in the galaxy. I am going to invent an anti-aging formula so I can keep her making great TV and movies rest of my life.

[@VladimirBelykh]

Considering how she looks at her age, I think someone already has invented it!

[@VladimirBelykh]

@@bWWd0 "Simpin"? How is liking a performer and wishing for that performer to have a long career - "simpin"?

[@iMadrid11]

They've already invented Deep Fakes. This how the Star Wars is able to use the face of young Princess Leah and Luke Skywalker. You can also use huge archive of recorded voice samples of an actor. Stitch them up word for word using AI. To construct new dialogue of a dead actor. If that doesn't work you can hire a voice actor to mimic the original voice.

[@volumedealer2716]

CRINGE

I'm happy Temura finally got his due......Jango was wasted in my opinion. 20 years later and it all pays off. After this he gets to play other popular clones like Rex!

@@Voltar you conflating the character of Boba Fett, who we only got to see recently, with the clone army isn't the same thing as him playing Boba Fett. Duh.

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

There was too much CGI in the prequels. At the time fans complained it looked like a cartoon. That's why they went back to practical effects, real sets and costumes.

[@joaquinwaters1810]

Tem is an excellent Boba Fett. Never would've thought that he would be tbh, but damn he brings so much depth and charisma to Boba that I honestly can't separate the OT Boba from him now, which is proof of a great performance

[@Jacobi.G]

I can’t express how happy I am that after all these years Tem got his own Star Wars show. He has such a passion for the character he plays and for the fans. He definitely deserves it.

[@weemt07biker74]

Couldn't have 2 better people in the roles.

[@THEchiQ]

It’s such a rush, as a Kiwi, to have Temuera back in Mandalorian armour. The clones are Māori to us now. Any other accent is jarring.

[@vicentefernandez9084]

It's all good with the "this is fantasy in space" thing, but the clones without NZ accents would be awful.

[@THEchiQ]

@@vicentefernandez9084 only to Kiwis, I should imagine.

[@vicentefernandez9084]

@@THEchiQ I'm not a Kiwi (don't even speak English as a main language) but the clones and Boba have Tem's voice, period. If he ever retires from doing it and someone else takes over, they better be Kiwi. Otherwise it's like having Vader voiced by a dude with a Southern accent.

[@THEchiQ]

@@vicentefernandez9084 That’s interesting. I thought it was just Kiwi pride that made Temuera’s association with the role important. Māori actors have done us proud. Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi, Cliff Curtis, Manu Bennett, Julian Dennison, and Temuera are probably the best known.

[@1KQ_]

As a fellow kiwi and Maori I agree with you, if you're familiar with Dee Bradley Baker he gives an awesome alternative voice for the Clone Troopers as well he's been voicing them in video games and clone wars TV show since around 2008. I honestly wouldn't mind it if he took over voicing the clones in the Future with Temuera Morrison still voicing boba and Jango, it's what they went for in the battlefront 2 game that came out in 2017 and it worked surprisingly well it really helped showcase both actors too.

[@diastirtakurnianto5263]

she's 58 YO. OMG !! still beautiful !!

[@sgfwalterodimmm824]

Can't lie although the show is even better than expected. Fennec is easily a favourite character!
