I was thinking a lot about why I like baby Yoda but have absolutely hated all the other "cute" Star Wars characters. Basically, 3 reasons:
1. Baby Yoda is not obnoxious. The writers don't feel the need to fill every dead space with Baby Yoda saying something ridiculous or making a stupid noise.
2. Baby Yoda is part of the plot. He (or possibly she) hasn't just been shoehorned in there for the purpose of selling toys.
3. Baby Yoda is actually funny. Humour is a slippery thing, and the Mandalorians dry humour is just so much better than anything Ryann Johnson tried to cram into TLJ. It's much more in keeping with the humour from original trilogy, where the humour flows naturally from the narrative and the action sequences.

I don’t know if it’s canon but I read a Star Wars bounty hunters novel once that said he escaped and survived.
They hinted at his survival in Aftermath briefly (Canon). Its funny because in the legends EU they rescued Fett from the Sarlacc and made him a really menacing but fairly deep character. Then they let Karen Traviss get a hold of him in the Legacy Series and it suddenly because this feeling that she was just a little too in love with the Mandalorians and they because Australians in space.
Its interesting though trying to link the whole Lore of the Mandalorian in Canon. In Clone Wars we saw them as pacifists without the armor in Clone Wars. then we had the rise of Death Watch. Then in Rebels they were back in the armor fighting wars against each other, but still a society. Now you get a sense that the Mandalorians are very few and far between and are lone drifters.

Bobba wasn't a Mandalorian, though in the old EU he eventually became the Mandalore. Jango was born on Concord Dawn in the new EU but the government called him a fake and pretender wearing a stolen suit of armor.

Boba is a clone of jango, obviously. Jango is a Mandalorian, as he was adopted and raised in the Mandalorian culture. Mandalorians are not one species but more of an order based on tradition. Although the culture did originate in a non human species.
Boba was not recognized as a Mandalorian. He just wore Jango's armor.

Yup the Mandalorians were almost like desert nomads, they would adopt people from other worlds or even species and you could become a clan member.

My impression was that Jango was adopted into Mandalorian culture and became one. Later on post clone wars, various elements disavowed him. However, post- humously he was again seen in a positive light.

Here's the funny thing is that they used Jango to fix Boba's story.
Originally Bobba had been a law man on concord Dawn who killed another Protector and fled for his life and became Boba Fett the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy.
Then when AOTC came out they went oh crap. Wait we can fix this. Jango because the guy from Concord Dawn who had been thrown out on his butt and disavowed. It was actually pretty clever in terms of repair work.
Then later boba got cancer.
