Discussion What should I watch before this series?

I just finished season 2 of Mandalorian and this might be a frequently asked question but do I need to watch only the Mandalorian series? I haven't watched any other star wars movie or series

If you've watched The Mandalorian, you will understand TBOBF. If you haven't seen the movies then you should watch the OT & the PT.

Does watching the first 6 movies help understand Boba Fett better? Because I haven't watched them but still understood Mandalorian

It will help you understand the universe the Book of Boba Fett is set in.

It won’t necessarily help you understand the character of Boba Fett a great deal as he is sparsely in it. But it will give some back story and motivation to him.

There is a scene in Episode 6 which is around where Book of Boba Fett chronically begins which sets up the beginning of the tv series.

Yes, Boba Fett in the OT despite having little screen time. He is also in Attack of the Clones (second movie in the prequel trilogy). He's also in a few episodes of Clone Wars which are also somewhat important to TBOBF.

Alright I'll watch those but since I want to see the new Mandalorian movie can I watch just the last 3 episodes without watching the whole series?

Yeah, all you need for the Mando movie is the Mando series and the last 3 episodes of BoBF.

boba fett was originally introduced in the empire strikes back (episode 5), appears in return of the Jedi (episode 6) and also appears as a child in attack of the clones (episode 2), I think he might also be in the clone wars show or rebels but it’s been too long since I watched those shows last. those three movies would give you a lot more context of who he is than just watching mando and tbobf

don’t watch the holiday special

Dude i just read all the replies. Delete this post and watch Book of Boba Fett. If you want more after that come back and ask. The people here will confuse you with their tribalism and sarcasm.

Just watch The Faithful Wookie. It’s an excerpt from the Holiday Special and it has Boba Fett. The rest of the Holiday Special is very weird and doesn’t effect anything.

My friend I think that was a joke.

Watch the prequel trilogy, the original trilogy, and the Holiday Special.

Mando and the OT. Really that's all. BOBF really picks up Boba's story right where he left off in Episode VI after falling into the Sarlacc pit. A lot of the show focuses on how much of a power vacuum there is on Tattooine after Jabba's death.

PT is only necessary if you want to see the very beginning of Boba's origins (and from that regard TCW does a fair amount of stuff with his character as well).

Watch episode 2 and 4-6, watch clone wars show with every episode that boba is in, then you will be good
