The third episode of “The Book of Boba Fett” airs this week, continuing the adventures of the infamous and iconic bounty hunter Boba Fett (now played by Temuera Morrison) introduced in “The Empire Strikes Back.” Not only does the series get into the backstory of the character, charting the events that followed “Return of the Jedi” but it follows Boba Fett as he navigates the treacherous alliances on Tatooine, with his right hand woman Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) at his side.

“The Book of Boba Fett” streams every Wednesday on Disney+.
