The galaxy of Star Wars has been captivated by 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu', and while the main characters receive much attention, it is the unexpected little Anzellan that stole the show. The portrayal of this alien species in the film has caught the eye of many fans online, who appreciated the tribute to the 2019 characters. Here is a look at who provides the voice for this tiny squad.
Who Voices the Anzellans in 'The Mandalorian and Grogu'
The voice behind the adorable two-foot creatures is none other than Shirley Henderson. The renowned actress has been in the industry for a long time and is best remembered for her role as Moaning Myrtle in the 'Harry Potter' franchise. The Scottish actress has worked for decades in the film industry and also gained popularity for her role as Jude in the 'Bridget Jones' movies.
She also voiced the character in the 2019 film, where she specifically played the role of Babu Frik, a droidsmith who worked with the Spice Runners of Kijimi and was alive during the New Republic Era in the Star Wars universe. On the work front, Henderson is set to star in the absurdist comedy film 'Love Is Not the Answer', alongside Pamela Anderson, Steve Coogan, Jamie Dornan, Julia Best Warner, and Lucas Hedges.
What Are the Anzellans?
First introduced in 2019 in 'Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker', Anzellans are a sentient alien species. They are known for the micro-lenses located in their floating eyes, which can see microscopic details in anything. In 'The Mandalorian and Grogu', the Anzellans team up with Grogu to save Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin when a bounty hunter captures him. One of the most talked-about scenes from the film includes this rescue mission, where an Anzellan is heard encouraging the 50-year-old baby Grogu by saying, 'Come on, baby. You can do it.'
