The Winter 2021 issue of Disney’s Twenty-Three Magazine features an in interview with Ming-Na Wen, Fennec Shand, where she reveals some interesting details about the upcoming Disney+ series Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett.
When asked what she can share about the upcoming Star Wars series, Wen discussed the“partnership” between Shand and Boba Fett, admitting that their bond is anchored by both of their near-death experiences:
“Well, there’s a partnership between the two of them [Fennec and Boba Fett], for sure. They’re bonded by the fact that they both lived through a near-death experience. And there is a sense of code that they both abide by.”
The actress continued by pointing out that the bounty hunting pair are not bad guys, but they are also not good either:
“So it’s going to be really interesting to see how their dynamics grow in The Book of Boba Fett. I think that’s all I can say. The rest is, you have to watch. Not that they’re the bad guys. They’re not that good either.”
When the interviewer referred to Fett and Shand as anti-heroes, Wen agreed, saying that the characters “get away with more” when they are categorized as such:
“We are the anti-hero. I like playing an anti-hero. You get away with more, I think.”
The discussion then shifted to the actress’ working relationship with lead star, Temuera Morrison.
Wen praised the veteran Star Wars actor, describing him as “spectacular” and a person who “appreciates the work that goes into everything:”
“Temuera is spectacular. In some way, he’s the opposite of me, which is good, because he’s less of a nerd than I am. He appreciates the work that goes into everything, and I geek out at everything.”
