Fennec Shand returns in this week's episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3, titled "Bad Territory," and ComicBook.com has an exclusive clip. The Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3, Episode 8 clip sees Shand (voiced by Ming-Na Wen) working with Bad Batch squadmates Hunter and Wrecker (both voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) on a mission that has taken them to a swamp-like planet. Shand mans their ship while Hunter and Wrecker get into the water and wrestle with some space alligators, which proves to be a tough tussle even for resident strongman Wrecker. You can watch the exclusive clip.

Ming-Na Wen made her Star Wars debut as Fennec Shand in live-action in The Mandalorian before moving to the spinoff series The Book of Boba Fett. Star Wars: The Bad Batch occurs years before those appearances, with Wen voicing the younger version of her character. The character quickly became a fan favorite, with some calling for the bounty hunter to receive a solo spinoff. Wen addressed those fans in a conversation with ComicBook.com in 2023.

"Well, I get a lot of fans asking if there could be a spinoff of just Fennec. I'm like, why not? I don't know. Yeah, any reason to just do Star Wars again," Wen said.
