    Anyone think she’ll die in the finale?

    I just don't see why she survived if she is just gonna be killed off again. you would think you would only reverse a death if you planned to do something with it.

    Well she’s part Cyborg now.

    Maybe she activates an explosive device in her chest so the others could flee.

    We saw that last season with IG-11. Let's have more variety than that.

    Okay... how about she flees with Grogu only to be tragically gunned down by Imperials? :p

    The only interest of seeing her die, a second time, would be that Boba could stay longer by Djarin's side. The wish to put a definitive end to Gideon

    Knowing now that Fennec is in The Bad Batch as well, I was amusedly thinking to myself that we have another Bo-Katan situation on our hands where the character looks really great for their in-universe age.

    Then I remembered that, in real life, Ming-Na Wen is 57, and that the "looks really great for their in-universe age" applies out of universe as well!

    Ming-Na Wen looks great period. Not just "for her age."

    Oh absolutely! By the "for her age" part I'm just referring to the idea that she (and Bo-Katan) are a fair amount older than Boba and Din in-universe.

    Oh, I know. Wasn't being prickly. I'm just passionate about how much I love Ming-Na Wen. :)

    Boba wouldn't look so old if it weren't for the acid burns... and for the grave error of walking around Tatooine for years on end.

    Seriously; Tatooine seems to age everyone about an extra 15 years.

    Fennec Shand is a great star wars name. I love it.

    Was it made clear why Boba saved her? I can imagine some reasons why, but were any given?

    Empathy based on personal experience.

    On her part, it might be interesting to see how she views the situation, since we now know she was active when Clone Troopers were still very much the majority of the Empire’s forces.

    It's also likely he had a plan for her. He likely didn't know Din would end up with the armor, but he likely did know he would need insurance to get it back.
    He can't exactly walk up to Cobb Vanth and take it off of him, but with a skilled sniper on his side he might just be able to convince him to give it to him without the risk of violence.

    Cool design choices! I wouldn't have considered the hair styling, but I'm glad it's subtle.

    Good she’s a cool character played by an awesome actress. And Ming-Na has VA experience, she was freaking Mulan for goodness sake.

    Or maybe....just maybe they can stop killing characters and then magically bringing them back. This is getting tiresome and stupid now. Death has zero meaning in this universe it seems. Cut the crap. Just bring Han and Luke back too. Meh.

    Fennec never died though. It was certainly hinted that she survived at the end of her original episode.

    Since Fennec is confirmed to be in The Bad Batch, I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see Fennec and Boba working together all the way back in the early Dark Times era, which could explain why he would save her.

    I wonder if Fennec was a cyborg all this time and Boba simply restarted her after her circuits got fried
