Ming-Na brings such an incredible swagger to her character. We played with that a lot. There was something I called “the Fennec look.” Where sometimes I would design scenes to just end on her giving Boba a look that spoke volumes.
“I really admire who Fennec is because there are so many attributes about her that I wish I did have. She’s fearless. She’s extremely skilled at her profession. And she’s very honest. Oh, well, I guess those are my attributes.”
“And now, Ming-Na Wen, my Chinese name is now part of Star Wars. I’m glad I never changed it. It reps that little girl struggling with her identity & dreaming for something more.”
