The Mandalorian: Mark Hamill left speechless by Ming-Na Wen comments
Star Wars legend Mark Hamill has been left speechless by the praise he received from his The Mandalorian co-star Ming-Na Wen. Contains spoilers from The Mandalorian season 2.
Mark Hamill is a Star Wars legend. The actor, whose other most famous role was his legendary voice performance as The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series (and various DC media afterwards), has portrayed Luke Skywalker since the first film, A New Hope, back in 1977. He recently shocked us all when he appeared in Disney Plus‘ The Mandalorian season 2 finale.
Hamill reprised his role as Luke Skywalker, appearing with the help of some CGI to de-age the character and make him look younger when he made the surprise appearance in the finale episode. The cameo was understandably a major hit with fans of the show (and the wider franchise) and Hamill himself tweeted out his excitement about the appearance.
What did Ming-Na Wen say about Mark Hamill?
Hamill’s tweet garnered the attention of Ming-Na Wen – who portrays Fennec Shand on the show – as she retweeted Hamill’s comments, adding that his portrayal of Luke was “immensely inspirational and impactful to [her] childhood & as an adult” and that sharing a scene with him was “truly one of the biggest highlight” of not just in her career but in her life.
Upon seeing the tweet, Hamill responded with nothing but praise for his co-star, adding that the “pleasure was all [his]” and that he was “literally speechless” by her praise-filled tweet. Check out his tweet below:

Ming-Na Wen responded with heart emojis before sending a retweet reply, commenting that she had reached “nerd nirvana”, adding that it was “way cooler” than the time Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler spilled red wine on her arm and “wiped it off with cocktail napkins”.
It’s nice to see such appreciation between two absolute acting legends!
