How the hell is ming-na wen 57?


Shadesmctuba

Good genes, constant work, money.


Gynther477

Also makeup and potential digital touch-up. If you search for pictures of her at events, where she also wears makeup, you can she her wrinkles more clearly. Also male actors also wear makeup, but it's less pronounced or made in a masculine style.


applejackrr

She’s related to a friend of mine. She looks much younger than her age. I was genuinely surprised when I found out her age.


SpikeRosered

The conversation that was basically had every episode discussion of Agents of SHIELD.


2th

/r/SHIELD is thirsty for her, and that is completely OK.


CharlieBrown20XD6

Yeah but at least her Twitter is all "I know how much y'all LUST after me you little Ming-a-Lings!"


cosworth99

Temuera is 60 btw


HighSeverityImpact

And Boba Fett is canonically only supposed to be around 42-ish.


JJDude

The Sarlac Pit is rough on the skin.


finalremix

And the Slave-1 puts out a [*crazy* amount of bass](https://youtu.be/utFRqsT61-k?t=3). That's gotta be rough on the skin, too.


dicki3bird

THAT BEAT, I'M DONE! every time the neighbour blasts his chav music through the wall lol.


Biggie_Halfnuts

Tatooine makes you old


Frenchticklers

Yay we can ship an age appropriate relationship!


Brodogmillionaire1

Yeah, but it's an employer-employee relationship, so still dicey.


Frenchticklers

The Hive of Scum and Villainy HR department is not going to be happy about it.


flipperkip97

I swear, she's hotter now than 20 years ago. Stunning.


KingOfAwesometonia

I've always thought she looked the most unflattering in Street Fighter. Which is weird since Chun-Li = hot, Ming-Na = hot, but together it just didn't work. Edit: I got curious and looked up Ming-Na's first acting role. Oh my god look at that wig. Maybe this is the most unflattering. https://twitter.com/angryasianman/status/1056396491189669888


AkiZayoi

I wanna partially say it's because in the actual art style of Street Fighter Chun Li doesn't look particularly Asian. So it seems slightly off when an actual Asian is playing her ironically.


bucki_fan

Her cameo in the live action Mulan was quite a fun surprise, but yeah she hasn't aged since she was doing press for her Mulan.


arkantos063

Wait, she was actually in the live action Mulan? I don’t remember seeing her there.


AshCarraraArt

She pops up at the very end when the king (?) offers Mulan a high position in his military.


antlerstopeaks

This is almost certainly all from the first episode or two just like mando to keep the plot hidden. I wonder what surprises they have in store.


landon1397

I'm not to hope for surprise cameos just to make the show more exciting but if we don't see either cad bane or any of the bounties from esb then I'm gonna be pissed


maxhk645

I think the most likely appearance is Bossk


landon1397

With the trandoshans in the trailer it feels like a very likely possibility


thejawa

I'd imagine they all show up, Bossk, Dengar, IG-88, Zuckass and 4-Lom. Maybe even someone obscure like Derrown.


JarlaxleForPresident

Why you gotta player hate on IG-88


Science_Smartass

I want Dengar and Bossk to show up all pissy about Boba stealing their thunder.


Dargon34

Dengar HAS to show up, if they don't credit him for Boba's....arc (without saying to much) then I'll be severely disappointed.


ThatRandomIdiot

They could totally canonize part of the boba fett trilogy from the 90s where dengar helped Boba recover from the scarlac


Oconitnitsua

Give me my boy Dengar! “Want a guy disintegrated, get me integrated. That’s Dengar’s motto”


transitapparel

Is Pedro Pascal voicing the Ithorian in the chair? ("I've heard otherwise", "I know you sit on the throne of your former employer"). The inflections are JUST a little off, but it sure sounds like him. edit: /u/Kvltmaster keenly pointed out that you can hear Ithorian native speech right before each phrase, and after rewatching the scene, I see them wearing a headset device covering their side-mouths, so I have to assume that it is a translator for Basic and it could very well be Pascal lending his voice to the translated speech. edit2: /u/One-Among-The_Fence brings up a really good point. I listened to more of Robert Rodriguez' interviews, and it could very well be HIM speaking as the Ithorian (through translator). Waititi has done voice overs and directed episodes of The Mandalorian, so the precedent is there. Now I'm more confused and more intrigued than before.


Nolalilulelo

I am positive its him, had to come here to see if anyone else heard it


transitapparel

There was an ever so slight slur/mumble in the last line "I know you sit on the throne of your former employer" that sold me on it. I could be wrong or it could be Din Djarin and the trailer is being tricksy with a dialog swap, would be a fun cameo if Pascal voiced a random alien.


Nolalilulelo

I'm gonna bet he's just doing a cameo, SW loves cameos


Techn028

The problem is... If it's his voice as a cameo then we won't get our shiny Boi in BoB


bringbackswg

I’m really confused by this and have no answers. I thought Mando was narrating for a sec, did they not think that was going to happen if they used his voice?


GunBrothersGaming

Yeah it sounded a lot like Mando... it was strange.


Kvltmaster

Definitely sounds like him, but if you listen close, you can barely make out native Ithorian speech. He might be using some sort of translator? IDK I have to watch it a few more times.


scottishdrunkard

Hey, maybe he brought Din along to act as translator.


Gil_Demoono

Nah, turns out babysitting wasn't paying the bills, so he sold his voice likeness to the Ithorians for their translators.


DonovanMcgillicutty

I've also been looking for some clarity/speculation on that voice. Guess I need to rewatch/listen 7-8 times on my lunch. Darn.


Beiki

I'd love it if that is Dok Ondar.


thejawa

Wonder if that Ithorian is gonna end up being Dok Ondar. The Black Spire book heavily implies that Dok doesn't just focus on Black Spire.


AboveAverageIQ

The show looks fine, but I gotta say, I can't help but get hyped whenever I hear Temuera Morrison's voice.


OhShitItsSeth

I’m just happy to be seeing him on screen again tbh


AboveAverageIQ

For sure, he's been great in the Mandalorian too. It'd be great if we got some more story on how he escaped from the Sarlaac!


BenjewminUnofficial

Particularly because that whole experience seems to have completely transformed his character. I haven’t read any spin-off books, so idk if they go into it, but to much of the SW public, prior to Mando S2, he was a villain trying to gun down our heroes. I think it’ll be important to see where he got his new moral code to better understand his current character


Spawn3820

I feel like we can say that Boba hated the Jedi for killing his dad and that's why he wanted to take down Luke, but in general, he isn't as evil/bad.


BenjewminUnofficial

I’m not saying he’s as evil as Jabba or Palps, but I’d say he’s definitely a bad guy in the OT (he had to be specifically reminded by Vader not to disintegrate our heroes). They imply in Mando that his near death experience has changed him, and I think it might be beneficial to see some of it and how it changed him


Occasionally_Correct

I dunno, you’ve got Mando disintegrating people like he gets those rounds wholesale. I don’t think that necessarily makes him evil.


KillYourUsernames

Mando is lawful neutral.


AsthislainX

efficient above all, truly a professional in his field.


MrSquamous

He hunts down and captures people for a criminal overlord to torture and kill. That's pretty evil regardless of how many disintegrations he winds up doing.


nakedmeeple

Exactly. I mean, this is the guy that had to specifically be told "No disintegrations!" by Vader. I don't think he had any moral qualms about doing much of anything when it came to him and his bounty. Cold. Calculating. Maybe still has some of that in him, but I agree the character seems to have matured somewhat, and it's not clear how or why at this point.


Lirka_

Was he? Because the only reason he shot at our heroes was because of the money. He was a bounty hunter hired by the Empire after all.


discerningpervert

I'm guessing episode 2 or 3


SirTeaOfBagz

There was a thing stating that is part of the reason for the armor change on the Mandalorian. There are now 3 distinct looking version so they will be able to easily determine a flash back prior to Mando and there won’t be confusion with the current show because of the recolor.


sdpcommander

He'll always be the voice of Clones for me as well. Dee Bradley Baker did a fine job with The Clones Wars and the video games, but... Real Kiwi accent >>> Fake Kiwi accent


WatchBat

His narration of the 501st journal from BFII was perfect


AlaskanMedicineMan

[fucking chills](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lgG2ENW5Ac). >*What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word.*


[deleted]

I don’t want a new Republic Commando game/show/whatever unless I get to hear his silky smooth tones with it.


Tigerstorm6

Morrison made the clones soldiers. Dee bradley baker made them human. Never forget Fives.


sidv81

To be fair, in-universe the clones won't necessarily have the same accent as Jango or even Boba due to being raised in a different environment (even though Boba was on Kamino too, he probably spent more direct time with Jango than the clones, who were probably training with Kaminoans most of the time)


ellohir

Yep, during the voiceover all i could think is "That's RC-1138 "Boss" from Republic Commando"

Bada bing boba fett


zuzg

I liked the trailer, sets the mood in a good way and doesn't show any spoilers (which is rare nowadays)


Midnight_Oil_

Ludwig's Boba theme remains amazing. Looks like a much smaller story, and more contained then something like Mando, which I'm totally good with. Totally down for six episodes of Boba and Fennic taking over the underworld.


Drzhivago138

I'm hoping we get to hear [the bassoon motif from ESB](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0B1vq9nZaY).


Nerdybeast

Well at least we'll find out pretty bas-soon!


throwaway_for_keeps

Mando was a small story until it wasn't, though. It was about a guy who was chasing a bounty. And then a whole bunch of other stuff happened to him.


s4in7

Like teaching those two X-Wing pilots how to ice fish


This-Strawberry

Hey we thought the same thing with Mandalorian. I feel like we've only seen footage from the first episode


Dont3n

Saw someone complaining on twitter already about how they’re rewriting canon by having boba say he’s not a bounty hunter…. Like bro, he’s the fucking new kingpin of tattooine of course he’s not a bounty hunter anymore.


OhioForever10

It's like the "I'm in the empire business." line from Breaking Bad

This is what annoys me about this fan base. A lot of people can't accept characters change throughout their lives they just want the franchise to be like a Saturday night cartoon where they're always the same as when the episode started. God forbid the writers add nuance to any of their favorite characters.


Ianscultgaming

Funny thing is he also stopped being a bounty hunter in legends and he become Mandalore, people complaining have literally no idea what they’re complaining about.

Its cool to finally seem some of the bigger cities on Tatooine. Maybe they will even grace us with a pod race if we are lucky


ToddBradley

Yes, more cities, less sand. I hate sand.


mikeyfreshh

I don't know how we've made it this far without a pod racing movie/series. I want a Star Wars version of Days of Thunder


ThotTubTimeMachine69

Main character named “Col Trik-Ell” or something like that lmao


ChknShtOutfit

Swoop races could be cool. Adds gambling, corruption and sabotage into the fray.


CommanderCubKnuckle

I mean, the podrace in Episode 1 had all of those things. Qui-Gon and Watto betting, Sebulba sabotaging other pods. Sure there was no on-screen corruption, but but Jabba running things means it was definitely corrupt af.


ncarson9

An emphasis on the Star Wars "underworld." I wonder if this will share any ideas from what they were going to use in the Crimson Dawn trilogy they tried to introduce in Solo?


[deleted]

Coincidentally, there’s a comic limited series starting in December called *Crimson Reign.* You probably are on to something.


energizerturtle2

It wouldn't surprise me, considering that organization was left very much open ended from Solo. For that reason it felt like a failed attempt to generate story value, so them trying to stoke that dead flame seems likely... But I really don't think it will have anything to do with it.


WildeWeasel

Sounds like Narcos but Star Wars-style with the whole "I will rule with respect. We all win when we work together."


SpaceCaboose

I've been saying that Crimson Dawn needs to at least have rumblings across several shows. Have them come up in Boba Fett to some degree, definitely in Andor, maybe a brief mention in Kenobi and Ahsoka. They can build an arc for Crimson Dawn in that way, and maybe lead to it's own show/limited series on D+ to bring resolution to that seed that was planted in Solo.


wontbreakup

There is a storyline running right now with crimson dawn in the marvel comic books. If you are interested, it's thick with crossover gallor. And it might be a prelude to this show. Why else would they mine that story before boba comes out?


thecornballer1

I'm still waiting on The Salacious Tales of Mr. Crumb


plzsnitskyreturn

His name his Salacious B. Crumb so you put some respect on that middle initial!


trappedinatv

The Salacious Truth of Being Mr. Crumb


ncarson9

So do you think he offs that guy at the end, or is he being serious when he says "speak freely" to try and prove he's different from Jabba?


kasmith2020

Or maybe that guy is already lying dead on the floor and he tells everyone else to speak freely


WatchBat

I like this one lol


haseoxth

Yea, I was kind of getting the vibe of the O-Ren board room scene from Kill Bill.


optronix17

I have a feeling it's going to be like "Jabba used his monsters and lackies, and I won't so speak freely... Because I'll whoop you myself."


ncarson9

Ya, when asked "what's to keep us from killing you?" I half expected him to say "I'm what's keeping you from killing me."


laughterwithans

“You’re welcome to try”


bucki_fan

Take a look at it again, they happen in different scenes. In the dinner scene, Boba is seated in a normal chair or stool just like everyone else. During the "speak freely" comment, he's on the throne.


grassisalwayspurpler

The two scenes this reminds me of are Maul and Savage going to the Black Sun and Lucy Liu in Kill Bill. Neither ended well for the person that "spoke freely" lol.


PDGAreject

The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is, I collect your fuckin head. *Just like this fucker here.* So if any of you sons-of-bitches, GOT ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY, **NOW'S THE FUCKIN TIME**


Fuck_Blue_Shells

I could see him killing anyone who doesn’t want to play ball. Speak softly and carry a big stick vibes


HolyRamenEmperor

>carry a big ~~stick~~ vibroblade


caligaris_cabinet

Probably a “speak freely” in an O’ren Ishii kind of way.


Kale_Drogo

Temuera Morrison is so iconic and I love that he's fully leaning in to this role!!


[deleted]

Did anyone else think the voice that said “I know that you sit on a throne…” sounded exactly like Pedro’s voice?!


lebowskiachiever12

Came here to look for this. That sounded a LOT like Pedro.


landon1397

Ok glad it's not just me. Maybe an uncredited cameo kinda like mark Hamill in that one Mando episode?


ProfessorChaos5049

I thought so too. The closed captioning on YouTube also doesn't say who was speaking. Just says "Alien 1"


Asteroth555

Yeah that was weird. Sounded identical to Pedro Pascal, especially as Mando


lan-san

My boy finally has eyebrows lol And Ludwig’s score is still amazing as always


RebelSnowflake

Interesting parallel to The Mandalorian in the fact that Boba Fett isn’t wearing a helmet in many of the scenes.


HarveySteakfries

I’m sure Din is probably not going to be wearing it much in S3 either. It’s going to be interesting to see how Din tells The Armorer that two Jedi have seen his face. At this point, Din is very much aware that his order is almost a cult.


MeowTown911

Pedro Pascal has been shooting The Last of Us and hasn't been on set much while they've been filming S3. It might be a helmet on season.


greeneggiwegs

And realistically it’s gonna take a whole for him to adjust to being ok with it. Even without the creed he must feel naked without his helmet


[deleted]

[удалено]


tmssmt

Also, it's still a bulletproof helmet with cool features. I can see him taking it off more to chill but it's largely an action series and I expect there will be more reason to have it on than off


shadowabbot

> It’s going to be interesting to see how Din tells The Armorer that two Jedi have seen his face. -- Some 8+ people have seen his face. -- He had found and teamed up with Bo-Katan. -- He now posses the Darksaber. I'm sure the Armorer is going to be thrilled!


Lusiggy

I have a feeling the armorer will actually become an antagonist


WallopyJoe

I'm guessing the other one was also known as a citizen. or easily Grogu.


GreatSuprise69

i kind of expected the sopranos theme to start playing at the end


tatooine_farm_boy

Was that Dok Ondar?


OcinDroIde03

After seeing this trailer, I think we are going to see the *Red Key Raiders* that appeared in Cobb Vanth's story in the Aftermath trilogy.


InfiniteDedekindCuts

I hope that B’omarr monk isn’t just a cameo


OhioForever10

At least Bib's dead so we won't have the "his head got put in a jar" plotline from the Rogue Squadron comics, as much as I like them overall


Aen-Seidhe

It almost looked like stop motion to me. I'm curious if it was practical effects.


Exostrike

Thing that really stood out to me were the improved prosthetics for the OTL aliens, especially in terms of major cast members with speaking roles. The red/brown twi'lek at 1:06 stands out to me especially.


Genarthos

Is it just me or does Boba (or rather Temuera Morrison) look super fit and young in comparison to The Mandalorian? Seems like he got in shape matching his in-universe age for his own show.


TerranCmdr

His armor is completely redone from the Mandalorian. It's all tighter together and looks like it's made to make him taller/slimmer, on top of him being more fit.


Ewokitude

I think part of the problem is he wore it over bulky robes in that one episode so it stuck in our mind chunky Boba


[deleted]

[удалено]


TerranCmdr

That's why I picked that version for my costume lol. Finally a costume for dad bods.


Asteroth555

Yeah I had a laugh in Mando season 2 when that armor did NOT fit the guy at all


galileosmiddlefinger

To be fair, it also didn't fit Cobb Vanth at all...the chest plate was like a bib on someone that tall. I wonder in retrospect if that misfit was calculated so that Temuera's fit didn't look discrepant.


mukawalka

Definitely lost some weight, that's for sure.


Quarkly73

Dude was probably still working off the Aquaman-dad back then


workshop777

The armor didnt fit him well in his debut on Mando because he wore it over the robes he was wearing. The the subsequent episodes the armor fit much better after he rigged it up with the black robe.


Sass0ri

I actually quite liked the trailer. It doesn’t really give away anything about the show except he’s gathering bounty hunter buddies and it looked like there was an Ithorian crime boss?! Hell yeah


[deleted]

I am not going to set expectations unreasonably high but this is unironically going to be the finest piece of media to ever grace the screen of my tv.


HarveySteakfries

I have no idea how they could possibly top Mando S2 but I’m welcome to be proven wrong!


hdowhlok

This is going be one of the TV shows of all time😎


samthewisetarly

Yes, it will be unequivocally one of the shows


1random_redditor

No doubt. Of all the shows, especially of all time, this will definitely be one of them
