I don't think you need to know the lore for Ep9 to be destroyed for you. I honestly thought when the hired better actors and got rid of all the campiness of the prequels it would be impossible to make a worse movie, but then they went and made the Rise of Skywalker and they proved me wrong, that is an unwatchable piece of swill.

I think maybe knowing the lore ruined Ep8 for you, because in isolation that was a beautiful and interesting movie. When taken in response to ESB, RoTJ and TFA it opened interesting new doors where we could have an original ending to that trilogy, it was so much more than we should have hoped for out of Star Wars. But obviously something in the lore foretold that was not to be, and in the end it was true, it was a bunch of build up just to slam us down on our faces.

In terms of the Book of Boba Who? I'm only half way through clone wars, I haven't seen all of these characters before, but can kind of tell when they are pulling them out of a different series just by the weight they give to the introduction, and it hasn't bothered me at all, I actually really love when the show knows more about a characters backstory that I do, it gives a wonderful layer of depth and texture to the story, and I can always hop on wookieepedia if I care that much.
