The Mandalorian is finally back on our screens as the hit sci-fi series returns for a third season. The hotly anticipated first episode dropped on Disney+ on Wednesday (March 1), allowing fans to catch up with the adventures of bounty hunter Din Djarin and his little green friend, Grogu.
The series takes place within the Star Wars universe that began in 1977 and has gone on to spawn a massive multimedia franchise. It now encompasses not just films and TV shows, but novels, comic books, and video games, too.
But all this Star Wars content means it can be hard to keep track of the franchise’s ever-expanding timeline – especially considering it constantly jumps from prequel to sequel, and back again. So exactly where does The Mandalorian fit into the Star Wars timeline and how does it relate to the other films and shows?
