Clearly, the most significant connection between The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian is that they occur during the same period, which places us a few years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi.
If you remember, it looks like Boba Fett meets his demise in that film when he falls into a Sarlacc Pit. Yet, a few years later, he shows up in The Mandalorian, thus revealing he somehow survived his fatal fall.
When we first meet the new and improved Boba Fett during The Mandalorian Season 2, he's super ruthless and rough around the edges. He's certainly not a nice guy — he's an absolute monster. Plus, with his brutal murder against Bib Fortuna, it's apparent how different he is from Din Djarin, aka Mando (Pedro Pascal).
However, many fans theorize that Boba Fett might've learned a thing or two from Mando. As a result, the series will follow the legendary titular character on a journey of self-discovery. More specifically, Boba Fett will transform from a relentless bounty hunter to the one who redeems and rules over Tatooine with dignity and respect.
Therefore, The Mandalorian and Mando himself definitively connect to The Book of Boba Fett by setting up both the story and the titular character.
While this is an intriguing take on the series, we really hope it doesn't happen. We already have a heroic bounty hunter, so we don't want Star Wars to make Boba Fett Din 2.0. But, since it's a Disney production, they will likely dismiss Boba Fett's brutal roots for a more family-friendly persona. Ugh.
Wait, now that we're talking about The Mandalorian, is it possible that someone from the series is showing up in The Book of Boba Fett? Maybe a certain bounty hunter or force-sensitive baby?
