When is The Mandalorian set in the Star Wars timeline?

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.
