Apart from his animated debut in the Star Wars Holiday Special, Boba Fett made a big impression when he established himself as the most knowledgeable (and enigmatic) of the bounty hunters hired by Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back.

With only a few lines of dialogue, a stunning suit adorned with cryptic features (is that an antenna on his helmet? ), and a no-nonsense demeanor, Fett left Star Wars fans wanting more. After that, they got more.
After making a comeback, Fett almost accidentally fell into the Sarlacc’s stomach, dying one of the most egregious deaths in all of Star Wars. It was an outcome unfit for a badass.
That helps to understand why Fett continued returning and reappearing in books and comics throughout the years. All of those tales were obviously abandoned when Disney acquired Lucasfilm, but with the second season of The Mandalorian, Fett made a canonical comeback, played by Temuera Morrison, a New Zealander who also portrayed Jango Fett, Fett’s adoptive father and genetic clone, in Attack of the Clones.

The Mandalorian left the possibility of a series open, following the exploits of Fett and his new criminal associate Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) as they try to fill the power vacuum created by Bib Fortuna’s passing in Tatooine’s underworld (a vacuum they very much helped create).
Is Boba Fett the little boy?
In the 2002 prequel movie Episode II – Attack of the Clones, a young Boba Fett (played by Daniel Logan) makes an appearance and reveals that he is an unaltered clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison), who had him created on Kamino to be raised as his son as part of his price to serve as the model.
Is Boba Fett the Mandalorian brother?
Technically speaking, Boba Fett is not a real Mandalorian. George Lucas reveals that Boba Fett is a clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. On the planet Kamino, Jango Fett brought up Boba Fett as his own son.
