UPDATED: Fennec Shand Thanks Luke Skywalker
Ming-Na Wen Thanks Mark Hamill for being, well, Mark Hamill (and Luke Skywalker)….
Despite the continuous Star Wars commotion on fan Twitter, there’s been a bit of a love-fest by the cast; a love-in going on in-and-around The Mandalorian and Luke Skywalker’s return in the Season 2.
Yesterday, we posted about Mark Hamill’s gratitude to Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau for their “igniting the green” and including Luke at the end of Chapter 16.

“To have shared a scene with you in @themandalorian is truly one of the biggest highlight, not just in my career, but in my life. Thank you.”
Hamill Has #NoWords
Ming-Na spoke for so, so many fans, fans that had already moved Hamill to write on Twitter, “#NoWords – Seeing fan’s reactions to Luke’s return is something I will cherish forever.
“Their anticipation seeing the X-Wing/Ep. 6 Robes/a lightsaber/a GREEN lightsaber/a gloved hand/an ungloved hand/a Force choke/R2-was OVERWHELMING & very moving to me.
“I’m a fan myself, so I knew true fans would love it, but to see them thrilled beyond belief with the exuberance of children, whooping it up, screaming in ecstasy, the tears of sheer joy…it’s a rollercoaster of emotions I’ll never forget,” he added.
It won’t soon be forgotten by anyone who grew up with Star Wars, Wen included.
Her Twitter feed is rife with Star Wars mentions and content:
Yes, #fennecshand would’ve definitely cosplayed #PrincessLeia. #CarrieFisher is the original badass heroine. #AlwaysWithUs ❤️🧡 #icon @starwars pic.twitter.com/7NfA7gwBRT

MIng-Na Wen Geeks Out
I mean, it’s truly inspirational to see someone as accomplished as Ming-Na Wen geek out over anything, never mind a part in a her childhood favorite franchise.
“Is it weird that I’m geeking out about my own life right now?” she asked Twitter. “Thank you from the bottom of my geek girl’s heart to @Jon_Favreau @dave_filoni @Rodriguez for the best Xmas ever!
