What led to Ming-Na Wen's reaction to Hamill's post:
Mark Hamill appeared in the Peyton Reed-directed Chapter 16 of The Mandalorian, which also featured the Two And A Half Men star. The episode sees Hamill's Jedi Master of a character meet up with Pedro Pascal's bounty hunter and his teammates. The objective of the meet in question is to take Grogu aka Baby Yoda to where he belongs. The subsequent sequence in which he fights the Dark Troopers, which acted as a build-up scene, earned praises from the devotees. For the sequence, Hamill appeared as a de-aged version of himself, who helped in resurrecting his character through filming some motion capture sequences. He was seen accompanying yet another iconic character, R2D2.
