The Mandalorian’s Fennec Shand, played by Ming-Na Wen, is a savvy assassin and mercenary who has worked for many of the top crime syndicates.
When the New Republic locked up many of her employers, she went on the run and found herself on the planet Tatooine, home of Luke Skywalker. Once there, she was tracked down by two bounty hunters, Din Djarin and rookie Toro Calican.
Shand was saved by bounty hunter Boba Fett after being left to die by Toro, and she now works as Fett’s partner, assisting him in his mission to recover his old armor from the Mandalorian, and later to rescue Grogu in order to honor an agreement made with the latter.
This has allowed Wen to explore a more vulnerable side of the character.
Fans have enjoyed the work of the actress in the role and have wanted to see more.
According to an interview the actress gave with Starwars.com, fans will be getting their wish as Shand will pop up in the upcoming animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch, which follows a special team of clone troopers at the dawn of the Galactic Empire.
The Star Wars: The Bad Batch sizzle reel for the show was revealed last week and even though it looked like her Fennec Shand character was indeed a part of it, she was still under gag orders not to say anything. Still, she noted they probably shouldn’t have put her in the trailer then!
