"evil group of warriors defeated by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars"

The ESB novelization says that Boba Fett wears "the sort of armor" worn by the above group. Is this group Death Watch?

Probably, Clone Troopers have the same sort of armor, but I'd say the Mandalorians.

It couldn't be the clones because the clones defeated the Jedi Knights, not the other way around.

So this probably won't be the last season we see the Death Watch and Mandalore...

Whether they tie it into that line from the book or not, I'm sure the Jedi will do something about them in the next season.

Lol, that novel is 30 years out of date. I'd take any info like that with a grain of salt, since chances are it's been contradicted at one point or another. The ANH novel is even worse in that regard. @Dark Lord Tarkas knows what I'm talking about.

Of course, but it is quite interesting how that line seems to fit.

Marvel Star Wars issue 68 and Marvel Star Wars issue 69 might be of interest to you!

Are those the issues with Spar?

Well, it's difficult to explain.

68 and 69 are about Leia visiting Mandalore. On Mandalore, she meets Fenn Shysa and Tobbi Dala, two Mandalorian Protectors.
The trio has a face-off with Dengar and the Suprema (Mandalore's Imperial ruler). Ultimately, Leia and Shysa manage to escape. Dala dies.

In flashbacks, it is shown that Shysa, Dala and Boba Fett were recruited by "Darth Sidious" during the Clone Wars to kidnap a certain female who looks just like Leia.

Lucasfilm would later on expand the story and reveal Shysa, Dala and some other Protectors were hired by Palpatine to capture Padmé Amidala. They all died, except for Shysa, Dala and Spar. Because Spar was a clone of Jango Fett, Shysa would mistake him for Boba Fett.

I know it's all kinda complicated. Hopefully, you will understand.

I do understand, but I believe it says "The Emperor", not "Darth Sidious".

Some time passed since I read the comic.

You're right. It says "the Emperor". Palpatine's Sith nme "Darth Sidious" wasn't known till the release of TPM.

It would be cool if next season Boba Fett says he got this from
