“The Book of Boba Fett” is Disney+’s latest live-action “Star Wars” series, following in the footsteps of the service’s breakout hit “The Mandalorian.” Like “The Mandalorian,” “The Book of Boba Fett” follows a bounty hunter in iconic armor, only this time the character wearing the armor is one well known to “Star Wars” fans and casual viewers alike – an imposing figure who first appeared in the franchise in 1978 and made his big screen debut in 1980’s “The Empire Strikes Back.”
But if you aren’t sure of Boba Fett’s complicated origin, where he went after the original trilogy, and how he wound up with his own Disney+ series, fear not.
