In addition to furthering both of their characters, it sounds like the series will also deepen the unique bond between them. After putting in a voice appearance in the animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Wen returns to live-action with The Book of Boba Fett, where she will act as a secondary lead opposite Morrison.
