The Mandalorian discussion thread

I'm not a super canon nerd like you bunch of nerds are, so I have to say that Boba Fett is one of the more confusing characters to me. I watched The Mandalorian, whole family enjoyed it, and when he appeared I paused and reminded my kids who he was (they had already seen the original trilogy).

But now I don't remember the whole story. How did he escape that desert creature he got knocked into in Jedi? Man, they did him dirty. But we were happy when it happened because he was supposedly a bad guy then. My how lines are blurred in our modern world.
In the books, he used a thermal detonator to kill the sarlacc from the inside, crawled out half dead and was rescued by Dengar (the bounty hunter with the head rag). They worked together for awhile. His armor was in bad shape but he got more pieces somewhere, can't remember the whole story. I think it was in "Tales of Jabba's Palace" or "Tales of the Bounty Hunters".
