====''The Story of the Faithful Wookiee''====

Boba Fett appeared in the animated segment of the non-canon 1978 Holiday Special, set after the events of ''A New Hope''. This marks his first appearance in the franchise. He is first seen when he rescues Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, and R2-D2 from a Panna dragon. Fett presents himself as an ally to the heroes but it is later revealed that he was working for Darth Vader the whole time - to reveal the location of the Rebels to the Empire. Fett ignites his jetpack before leaving and promising that they will meet again.<ref>{{cite web |author1=Lucas Seastrom |title=The Star Wars Holiday Special and the Debut of Boba Fett |url=https://www.starwars.com/news/the-star-wars-holiday-special-boba-fett |website=starwars.com |access-date=3 January 2023 |date=15 November 2018 |quote=The sequence would present an adventure where Han Solo, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, and their companions are on the search for a mystical talisman.

====''Droids''====
Boba Fett appeared in the canon 1985 animated series, ''[[Star Wars: Droids]]'', set before the original trilogy. The series was produced by the same studio that created the animated segment of the 1978 ''Holiday Special'', and Fett was again voiced by Don Francks (who had been uncredited for his original role in the ''Holiday Special''). In the episode "A Race to the Finish", he is hired by the Fromms to help them get revenge on the masters of the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. Fett later turns on them after failing their request, and decides to accept Jabba's bounty on the Fromms as compensation.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kaplan|first=Drew|date=April 9, 2014|title=Boba Fett in Television & Movies IV: Star Wars Droids episode, "A Race to the Finish"|url=http://starwarsmaven.info/bobafett4/|access-date=November 14, 2018|website=Star Wars Maven|archive-date=November 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181114224046/http://starwarsmaven.info/bobafett4/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In the story arc, Boba infiltrates Mace Windu's flagship in the guise of a clone trooper cadet, hoping to exact revenge against the Jedi for killing his father. After a failed attempt to bomb Windu in his quarters, he sabotages the ship's engines, causing it to crash on a nearby planet. He and his bounty hunter accomplices then take hostages from the ship's crew, whom they try to use to bait the Jedi Master. Throughout the ordeal, Fett balks at committing violence against his fellow clones, which comes to a head when his mentor [[List of Star Wars characters#Aurra Sing|Aurra Sing]] executes Windu's clone trooper second-in-command. [[Plo Koon]] and [[Ahsoka Tano]] eventually track Fett and his compatriots to pirate [[Hondo Ohnaka]]'s base. Fett is ultimately captured by the Jedi and sentenced to prison on [[Coruscant]]; although he expresses regret for the collateral damage he has caused, he vows to never forgive Windu.

Fett escapes prison in the fourth-season episode "Deception". He later forms his bounty hunter syndicate, Krayt's Claw, which includes [[List of Star Wars characters#Bossk|Bossk]] and [[List of Star Wars characters#Dengar|Dengar]] (both of whom first appeared in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' alongside Fett). In the episode "Bounty", Krayt's Claw is hired to deliver a package to a dictator. When the [[bounty hunter]]s discover that their cargo is a young woman destined for a forced marriage to the despot, Fett is indifferent to her plight and insists the team proceed with their mission. Temporary member [[Asajj Ventress]], enraged, turns on Fett; she strangles him with the Force, binds, and gags him, and shoves him into the container in the captive's place, whereupon he is delivered to the nonplussed client.

====''The Mandalorian''====
Boba Fett's presence in the original Disney+ series ''[[The Mandalorian]]'' was first hinted at in the [[The Mandalorian (season 1)|first-season]] episode "[[Chapter 5: The Gunslinger]]", which ends with a mysterious figure wearing boots and seemingly a cape<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|last=Eclarinal|first=Aeron Mer|date=December 4, 2020|title=Disney Releases Official Spoilery Photos From The Mandalorian Season 2's Chapter 14|url=https://thedirect.com/article/disney-the-mandalorian-season-2-chapter-14-official-photos-spoilers|access-date=2020-12-15|website=TheDirect.com|language=en}}</ref> approaching the body of assassin [[Fennec Shand]] on Tatooine.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Marc|first=Christopher|date=2020-09-18|title=Temuera Morrison's Agency Confirms He Is Playing Boba Fett In 'The Mandalorian' Season 2|url=https://theronin.org/2020/09/18/temuera-morrisons-agency-confirms-he-is-playing-boba-fett-in-the-mandalorian-season-2/|access-date=2020-09-20|website=The Ronin|language=en}}</ref>

In the second season's premiere, "[[Chapter 9: The Marshal]]", it is explained that Fett's armor was salvaged by [[Jawas]] after his supposed death, and then bought by [[Cobb Vanth]], a character first introduced in the ''[[Star Wars: Aftermath]]'' trilogy of novels, who used it to protect the Tatooinian village of Mos Pelgo from various threats.<ref name="Olyphant">{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/timothy-olyphant-joins-mandalorian-1294788|title=Timothy Olyphant Joins 'The Mandalorian' (Exclusive)|last=Kit|first=Borys|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=May 15, 2020|access-date=May 15, 2020}}</ref><ref name="OlyphantRole">{{cite web|url=https://www.slashfilm.com/timothy-olyphant-mandalorian-character/|title=Exclusive: Timothy Olyphant Will Wear Boba Fett's Iconic Armor in 'The Mandalorian' Season 2|last=Sciretta|first=Peter|work=[[/Film]]|date=May 19, 2020|access-date=May 19, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200519164714/https://www.slashfilm.com/timothy-olyphant-mandalorian-character/|archive-date=May 19, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> In the episode, the armor is eventually obtained by the Mandalorian after Vanth relinquishes it so that it could be returned to its rightful owners: the Mandalorian people.

Fett's first full appearance in the series occurred in the episode "[[Chapter 14: The Tragedy]]",<ref name=":2" /> in which it is explained that he saved Fennec's life after she was mortally wounded, leaving her in his debt and that he is looking to retrieve his armor from the Mandalorian. Fett and Fennec follow him in the ''Slave I'' to the planet Tython, where the former explains that his armor belonged to his late father Jango, a Mandalorian foundling, and is, thus, Fett's birthright. In exchange for the armor's return, Fett and Fennec ensure the safety of [[Grogu]], an alien infant the Mandalorian has adopted. When [[Moff Gideon]]'s Imperial forces attack the group, Fett dons his old armor and kills most of the stormtroopers deployed to capture Grogu with a gaffi stick.<ref>{{cite web |last=Shaw-Williams|first=Hannah|date=December 4, 2021|url=https://screenrant.com/mandalorian-boba-fett-weapon-tusken-raider-stick-explained/|title=Boba Fett's Mandalorian Weapon Explained: The Tusken Raider Gaffi Stick

In the latter episode, Fett is initially at odds with [[Bo-Katan Kryze]], the former ruler of [[Mandalore]] and one of the allies that the Mandalorian tries to recruit to help save [[Grogu]] because she calls him a disgrace to his Mandalorian armor due to his origins as a clone. Despite this, the two reluctantly work together to rescue the child from Moff Gideon, with Fett creating a distraction that allows the rest of the crew to board Gideon's ship. After this, Fett flies into hyperspace and is not seen again until a [[post-credits scene]], in which he and Fennec return to Tatooine after their debt is paid off. Fett kills [[Bib Fortuna]], who has been in charge of Jabba's palace since his death, and then sits on the throne that once belonged to Jabba, with Fennec at his side.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Hibberd|first=James|date=December 18, 2020|title=The Mandalorian season 2 finale suggests a third spin-off series, or a major shakeup|url=https://ew.com/tv/book-of-boba-fett/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201218093103/https://ew.com/tv/book-of-boba-fett/|archive-date=December 18, 2020|access-date=December 19, 2020|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref>
