As one of Star Wars' greatest achievements since the franchise's inception, The Mandalorian owes much of its success to the Star Wars stories and characters who came before it, most notably Boba Fett – but also Darth Vader. The entire premise of The Mandalorian following the lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin, through the lawless Outer Rim while he dons Mandalorian beskar armor is based on the mysterious yet beloved figure Boba Fett was during the original Star Wars trilogy. This is an undisputed fact, one the creators themselves have spoken to, but Boba isn't the only one who deserves credit.
