Can't believe she is 58...Looks so good for her age !!!!

[@nihilist1680]

What? You mean 18?

[@SpreadBox]

@@nihilist1680 LOL 🙂

As one reviewer said last season (I think last episode): "Ming-Na Wen"? "NOW".

[@darthkhodos4218]

Asians man, I'm telling you. It is like they don't age xD

[@SpaceJockey805]

For her age?? She just looks good PERIOD.

[@Azieru82]

Ming is just a fantastic actress, and a total badass.

[@christoffsimply3179]

Just love that woman right there. Die-hard Star Wars fan living the dream. Beautiful, great interview and I think she is nailing the role so far. Fantastic casting, imo.

[@SamuelSaveli]

Absolutely brilliant actor daisy ridley, gina carano and many others, take notice

[@SamuelSaveli]

@Mark Sheymus do you think a woman who just breathes at the camera with her mouth wide open for 5 straight movies is a good actor? If yes then maybe

[@PikeBishop1]

@@SamuelSaveli Pretty sure he just misread your comment.

[@zebunker]

No. Look at her face as she describes memories of star wars, a clear lie.

[@sithemperorpalpatine870]

She still looks in her 30's! 😍

[@jsbcody]

Both Fennec and Boba's near death experiences and the subtle changes to their honor codes and moralities have changed from what they were. Just like the changes that occurred to Din during the two seasons of The Mandalorian. When telling their stories, Jon and Dave remember the lessons from Joseph Campbell's "The Hero's Journey".

[@noitora524]

She's a Queen ❤

[@sportsfisher9677]

Her passion for Star Wars just makes one appreciate her performance that much more. I hope She and Boba really develop their relationship. She can be the Crime Queen as he is Crime King. This is going to be fun.

[@mariokartpro7406]

YES

fennec is a great example on how you properly write a well written strong female character. take notes Rey

[@LawTzuTao]

@@ronariverarahman9941 Nope. Never did. The angry mob has been losing momentum because they're yelling at walls. Nobody cares about their whining, or wants to experience it. The trolls had no choice but to gather their tiny tribes and retreat to their caves because they're running out of excuses to keep whining. It’s easy to irrationally whine about established characters. It's hard with new and not so well established characters.

I've loved Ming-Na ever since she played Trudy on The Single Guy back in the 90's. She's still terrific!

I'm a big fan of her since Agents of Shield and was so excited when i saw in Mandalorian. Now i will watch her in Boba Fett. :D

Out of all the new actors coming into these shows I was so happy Min-Na Wen got cast in Star wars. Love watching her in shield she was amazing and i was so happy when she got this chance because she such a nerd haha. Plus i was even more excited she didn't get killed off because we get so much more with her and Temuera Morrison, loving it.

[@jerryziegner]

She’s incredible.

[@carloscastanheiro2933]

I love her. Her characters always have so much presence and strength, I get goosebumps watching her perform and I can't imagine any other actress pulling that off, she's just scary and this is rare. Amazing actress and such a sweet human being, but she still scares me, I feel like she could kick my ass lol. Just kidding. Happy New Year. Regards from Portugal.

[@helenwaldeck185]

Ming is so amazing, what she's added to Star Wars with Fennec is so awesome! 😎

[@Nogdog945]

I’d say Fennec grew up in the shadow of the golden age of the republic, when corrupt politicians were ruling thr senate and taking cuts and cutting corners thus and going through the waves of the clone wars she saw it as nothing but pointless violence as she would’ve indeed grown up on the streets with probably no one. And thus joined up with the bounty hunter guild cause hey, you can’t eat dreams. But she was a relatively new face to the scene and going into the empire she had a decent reputation until she was contacted by the Kaminoans and truly cementing herself a reputable merc up and through the empire she remained well respected but well hidden hunter until she died at the hands of a rookie and was saved by Fett, but now she’s no longer in the shadows and is his right hand person, bodyguard, and ally

[@khelatar]

"Fennec, she grew up on the streets" Now there's a new tidbit, we haven't heard _anything_ before about the character before she became a bounty hunter.

[@Gattninja]

That could be something from an upcoming episode. On the other hand that could be part of Ms Wen's internal story that she uses to help her play the character.

[@jackiew.747]

I'm a big fan of hers, loved her in Agents of Shield . And she's GORGEOUS 🥰👍🏾💯.

[@TheNOJUSTICEJUSTUS]

For the record, it doesn’t make you a nerd if you like Star Wars, it makes you awesome. 😎

[@Biomirth]

If you like Star Wars, that makes you alive and have seen more than 10 movies. If you know every character and roleplay and get into miniatures and history, then you are a nerd.

I cant believe shes almost 60. I remember watching her in ER with my mom when I was a kid.

[@generalesdeath5836]

I want boba and fennec to fall in love and be mommy and daddy. I want fennec to be the reason boba doesn’t go too far. It would be ironic; boba has a moral code from the tusknes but fennec doesn’t but a child from fennec and boba could be free

Asian girls look amazing well into old age. I was constantly after this bar owner when I was stationed in Korea who looked a lot like Ming-Na. She wouldn't take me home because I was 29 and she had kids older than me. I now have kids pushing 40 and still think about that chick who's probably dead now. I'll bet Ming-Na's as good on the inside as she is on the outside too. Love this chick.
