Warning: This review contains major spoilers for Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 1 Episode 4
A familiar face returns this week in Star Wars: The Bad Batch episode 4: Fennec Shand, the bounty hunter from The Mandalorian. Naturally, she s not there just to say hi, but to hunt for a bounty – which is, of course, Omega.
Ming-Na Wen returns to voice Shand, who s in full bad guy mode throughout the episode. It s great to see Shand depicted in animation: the costume looks even better than in The Mandalorian, and Wen does a great job of playing Shand as calculated and cool, with a few moments of the softness we saw by the time she meets Din Djarin and Grogu.
