Ming-Na Wen discusses the working relationship between her character Fennec Shand and Boba Fett, a partnership that – like every element of anything with the Star Wars logo on it – will be watched closely by fans and viewers everywhere.

“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.

“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.”

Ming-Na isn’t giving much away, but that relationship is sure to be central to the plot as we follow Fetts journey back to Tatooine as he claims the former throne of Jabba the Hutt. Heroics are sure to be seen, but reading her comment any concerns about the character of Boba Fett becoming a ‘hero’ seems increasingly unlikely.
