When Does The Mandalorian Take Place In Star Wars Timeline

How Are Years Calculated in the Star Wars Universe?

Now that we know that the Star Wars universe sprouted from Star Wars: The New Hope, the creators use the events that took place in The New Hope as a focal point to measure the years that go by in the Star Wars Universe.
In Star Wars: The New Hope we got to see the Rebel Forces take out the first Death Star after an epic battle. This war was called the Battle of Yavin and years in the Star Wars universe are counted in either BBY or ABY which stands for “Before Battle of Yavin” and ‘After Battle of Yavin” respectively. So, if we say that XYZ event happened in 6 BBY it means that the given event took place 6 years before the Battle of Yavin, and if we say that an event took place in 8 ABY it means that it took place 8 Years after the Battle of Yavin.

When Does The Mandalorian Take Place?

So, now that we know about how to measure years in Star Wars units, let’s take a look at when the event of The Mandalorian took place. So, the Mandalorian is set after 5 years of the events that take place in Star Wars: Return of The Jedi set in 4 ABY.
Going by that, it is pretty clear that the first season of The Mandalorian takes place in 9 ABY which means that the events of The Mandalorian took place nine years after The Battle of Yavin.
