The Mandalorian Timeline Placement
Thankfully unlike the mcu timeline the answer to when the mandalorian is set and its position in the franchise relative to the sequels prequels and original trilogy is nice and clear cut.
The mandalorian timeline placement. That also puts it about nine years after the events of star wars a new hope. Season 1 ended earlier this year and season 2 just began and i cannot stop thinking about it. At this point in the timeline darth vader is dead and kylo ren is still just a boy named ben solo.
Favreau has said that the mandalorian is set five years after the fall of the empire in episode vi. Rey and finn werent even born when jedi took place. Im that just that kind of deeply obsessed star wars fan one that feels the need.
So timeline wise that. Thats where we find the mandalorian.
