Ming-Na's Dream Role | The Book of Boba Fett | Disney+

Ming-Na Wen takes on her dream role playing master assassin, Fennec Shand.
#TheBookOfBobaFett, an all-new Original series, is now streaming on Disney+.

[@benmitchell3463]

Even on the Mandalorian you could tell how much she enjoyed playing Fennec, easily one of my favourite actors in the Star Wars universe!

[@KevinTheTimeGeek86]

She's one of my fave actors, _period!_ Been a fan of her's since the original "Mulan", and she's incredibly gorgeous for a woman of her age. :)

[@Danny___Riot]

I agree, when I saw her with Boba for the first time I was excited she was back!

[@JRGines]

From Mulan to Agent May, now Fennec Shand. She's got solid roles under Disney over the years. Looking forward to seeing more of her

[@tomkatt8274]

She should play Marcy

[@MatthewdangeR]

There's nothing "amazing" about her, she's just a normal actress. Stop using the terms "amazing", "brilliant" and "genius" for every single actor, even Mark Hamill admitted they were overused in Hollywood.

I'm glad that they kept Ming-Na Wen around. Always loved her ever since the original Mulan movie. She was brilliant in Agents of SHIELD.

[@zephyr835]

Fennec's probably one of my favorite characters introduced since the sale to Disney. I love her whole design, the way Ming-Na has described her, and of course Ming-Na being an authentic badass on screen.

Ming na has been great in everything she's played. Cant wait to see what happens with her character in book of boba fett!

[@ComicalRealm]

It had a very solid opening 1st episode for sure, and it was awesome that they showed how Boba Fett survived the Sarlacc Pit , like from his perspective , which was really interesting, very awesome that we saw from his side

[@levinemgl1]

Ming-Na is a badass and she has been such a great addition to the Star Wars universe. Also, I am happy to say that I will be meeting her at my local Comic-Con this weekend.

Fennec is badass in both The Mandalorian and Bad Batch. Can't wait to see more in Book of Boba

[@eoghanryder]

I love how her relationship to Boba mirrors that of Zam Wesell’s to Jango. 👌🏻

@1993DJC Maybe? Have we any reason to think he wouldn’t do that if he had reason to? They’ve barely known each other. Hahaha

[@AScottish-AustralianM-84]

Except Boba hasn't assassinated Fennec yet via a poison dart.

[@meanstavrakas1044]

THE FANS LIKE FENNEC! We want to see her again and to watch her grow. Disney needs to keep her character alive with history, backstory, and new adventures. Ming deserves that.

[@DerFinder]

dude she is almost 60, she looks and acts waaaay younger! Amazing!

[@Realrockygs]

Ming-na Wen in Agents of shield was fantastic, her chemistry with the other characters and her silent but deadly personality she gave to agent may was perfect. Seeing that side of her again in boba fett is so sweet. I remember when I first saw her in mando season 1 I was like now that’s good casting but sad she “died” luckily they brought her back and this first episode of boba I was like omg, the casting director couldn’t have done any better!

[@radartechnicianbob8208]

Had no idea she was showing up on The Mandalorian until the descriptive narration track alongside her voice let me know she was there. I remember thinking, "Of course! Ming-Na fits perfectly into Star Wars!" Thrilled she wasn't just a one off character, and that she's now hanging around with Tem as Boba.

[@starkiller9897]

So happy for her. Nothing better than having actors that love the roles there in.

[@jedioutcast8328]

She's always so excited on Twitter about being able to play Fennec. I'm really happy for her.

[@mamstarstorm]

From the Disney Princess Mulan to Agent May from Marvel's Agents of Shield to now Fennec Shand in Star Wars. That there is a legend who ages literally like fine wine.

[@alexslusher16]

Can Mulan really be considered a Disney Princess? I mean she never came from Royalty. She didn't want her father to get hurt in war so she took his place and said the she was his son. Also, it's not like she married into royalty. She married a soldier.

I didn't like fennec shand at first but like most Dave filoni characters she really grew on me so much potential with her and to be player by the amazingly talented Mulan herself! You just can't help to like her character. I just hope they don't turn the book of boba fett into the book of fennec shand. Keep our priorities straight give her more in other projects I want Boba in the spotlight.

[@mank3y_]

yeah was a great first ep, looking forward to the development of the characters.. It shows on screen when the actors are having fun and enjoying the roles they play. lot passion and thought on how to portray them. Ming-Na is awesome and Temuera is solid, its gonna be a great watch. faith in the teams beheind it

[@JainaSoloB312]

So glad to see Fennec getting the respect she deserves in this comments section, she's easily one of the most skilled characters in SW. With no Force-sensivity we're aware of, she *dodged* a blaster bolt, and made a shot through a tiny gap on a quickdraw like it was nothing. Ming-Na is always a delight, I just hope one day she gets to play a character as playful and sunny as herself! She always gets cast as (seemingly) ice-cold badasses, but she's not like that at all! More hype to see Fennec's journey than Boba's to be quite honest with you, I hope she doesn't betray him!
