Shes the only character he created that anyone cares about because they were sweaty 14-25 year olds thirsty for jailbait Ahsoka 15 years ago and now they're sweaty 30- to 40-somethings still thirsty for jailbait Ahsoka but adult Ahsoka is good too
So how fucking old is Fennec?I think they mean his voice actor or whatever. I can't really give enough fucks about that shitty Emperor clone/knockoff.

Reminds me of the Nostalgia Chick but blockier. And they have her wearing the exact same outfit and hair despite the show taking place almost 30 years before the Mandalorian. Peak creativity there, Filoni frens.
Guess they though audiences would be too dumb to be able to recognize her or didn't think the character was memorable enough.
I didn't realized she was that old. Also is Ming- Na Wen going to reprise her role in Bad Butch.
I half wonder if they're doing this because even Filoni and company know no one wants to watch a show about Guy McAccent, so they got to bring in fan favorites to draw viewers. Of course the problem with this is it shrinks the universe, as there's this massive galaxy and yet these people keep running into each other. This was one of the problems I had with Clone Wars and Rebels as well.I think they mean his voice actor or whatever. I can't really give enough fucks about that shitty Emperor clone/knockoff.

In fairness, Clone Wars' whole design aesthetic is kind of blocky, plus this looks like an incomplete model (see the wireframe at the top of her head).2: The design for Boba's lady servant 'Fennec' in the Bad Batch was leaked and she looks pretty shitty tbh.

Well her actress, Ming-Na, is in her 50's, so in universe the ages would line up. Plus Filoni has had a tendency to include characters that don't appear to be much younger or older than when they first appeared (Bossk in the Clone Wars, Hondo in Rebels).
Bob Justman of Star Trek fame put it best:
The wireframe at the top of her head is supposed to be her little orange hair ribbons and her hair looks blockier than usual. One could point out Bossk being unchanged and wearing the same outfit is an issue but its excusable to some degree due that its a flight/pilot uniform and not a fashion choice, but with Ming-Na its painfully noticeable since its clearly a personal garment, and her age is more noticeable due to that she's just a human character and has the exact same fashion sense and looks 30 years later. Then again, it seems like Filoni wants to make his OCs immortal. Look at Hondo. Guy looked and seemed older in Rebels but then the recent stuff and Galaxy's Edge had him young again and no longer having "beard spikes" and the red head Bo-Katan should be pushing 60 but in Mandalorian she's a 40 year old who looks completely unchanged from Rebels right down to armor choice and hairstyle. And the most noticeable is Ahsoka who Filoni vehemently enforced as having survived past the Disney trilogy and being the only Force using character allowed to do so despite never bothering to help during this bullshit crisis or stop the FO or anyone outside of Space Aladdin. In the end Filoni just wants his favorite pets to get special treatment. And Disney-Lucasfilm has even had Hondo unrealistically meet up with every single character in the franchise.
Am I the only one who ended up hating her for what she did to Ulic? No?
She didn't have a whole lot of choice...Am I the only one who ended up hating her for what she did to Ulic? No?
If she had done it before he freaked out at killing his brother and was already repenting, it'd be different. Doing it afterwards is what always bothered me. Plus, the way she acted at the time was very emotional, and it bugged me. It was the complete opposite of the OT, where there really isn't any forgiveness or offers of redemption. Ulic did evil shit, but he wasn't completely evil. He even became a Jedi Master while being unable to touch the Force. It's one reason why I enjoyed the KOTOR game better.
Gotta keep in mind that this arc was done in like 1993-4. The prequels were a concept still then, KOTOR didn't exist, there wasn't this whole insane monklike dogma the Jedi had because Lucas hadn't thought it up yet. The Jedi in the old comics were emotional, they were impulsive, they were possessive, held grudges, had families. They were human. I think you're looking at TOTJ in a post PT mindset where there were all these codified rules for the Jedi that just didn't exist in the early 90s. Not to mention that these stories take place like 5,000 years before the OT.

And while "It's for kids" is a tired excuse for the failures of Disney Star Wars, having the same design makes it easier for kids to recognise that it's the character that was in The Mandalorian.
"It's for kids" was also the tired excuse of the prequels.
Also kind of makes sense. I mean... I dunno, I feel like Boba wouldn't CHANGE the armor, being that it is his personal armor and all, and it's essentially a cultural piece, as well. He's probably gotten so attached to the standard Green-Red design that he wouldn't change it in a million years.
Yeah but with that is excusable since its the whole "in honor of me dad's legacy" kind of shit and the armor has endured for all its wear and tear and is made of valuable stuff, which in Disney shit is made incredibly inconsistent because they just had Boba abandon the armor for no reason only to reclaim it almost a decade later from out of nowhere, and no reasons or explanations are ever given other than because Filoni wanted it to be cool and mysterious and not contradict Chuck Windbag's shitty novels. Anyway, here we have a girl wearing a basic outfit that she's been wearing along with exact same hair accessories for 35 years while she has not aged a bit. In contrast Chewbacca in ROTS looking almost identical to the OT is excusable since wookiees live for centuries, so 30 years is like a drop in the bucket for them, and they're pretty much nudists.
Pretty much Filoni's modus operandi (he still uses the same manner of writing and character development as he would on something like ATLA) and I think Filoni and his team realizes that his characters just aren't noteworthy enough to be recognizable by themselves unless they bash it over your head with the same design epic because they just think so little of their audience (like having the Fennec character take off a very convenient strap on her shirt that just as conveniently showcases her cybernetics which aren't even covered or armored' because otherwise you wouldn't know she's a cyborg in Filoni's simplistic logic). Which is odd since that Hondo character had a pretty different design in Rebels compared to TCW that made him look older and gave him a different outfit.
I think "it's for kids" only applies if they're directly the target audience. Themes are kept simple, dialogue equally so for the most part and while older audiences can enjoy it it's still accessible by kids. The prequels shove in way too much political banter for it to be exclusively for kids.
Holy shit this makes my blood boil.
Lucas said for years that they were for kids, regardless of the themes inherent that most kids wouldn't understand.
George says a lot of things.
That in no way invalidates that Star Wars is meant for kids, being the whole thing is based on kitschy serials from his youth. You being flippant isn't going to magically change his intentions just because you feel some themes are too heavy or boring for children.
Did she wear that outfit in the first season?2: The design for Boba's lady servant 'Fennec' in the Bad Batch was leaked and she looks pretty shitty tbh.
