Everything comes together in the Mando-Verse. In 2020, Lucasfilm CEO and producer Kathleen Kennedy announced that the Star Wars series set in The Mandalorian timeline , including the spinoffs Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka , will coalesce to culminate in a “story climax” on Disney +. Set in the New Republic era five years after Return of the Jedi and decades before The Force Awakens , characters such as Jedi Master Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and armored bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) would freely cross from one series to the next. Jon Favreau, the creator of The Mandalorian series , follows the Marvel Cinematic Universe approach, initiated by the directorIron Man in 2008.
“All of the shows we’ve been working on – The M andalorian , Ahsoka , The Book of Boba Fett , now Skeleton Crew – all exist within the same timeframe. They happen after the Return of the Jedi. Thirty years between Episode VI and Episode VII, which are somewhat unexplored, certainly on the screen. ” Favreau told Entertainment Weekly.
Favreau, who oversees Mando-Verse with Star Wars producer and director Dave Filoni, admitted that the 30-year span known as “Rise of the First Order” in the official Disney canon has been explored in the novels and the extended universe. But as Favrau said, there is plenty of room for the TV format to tell stories and guide the fate of the many characters that are set at this time.
“In The Mandalorian , we remind people of characters they’ve known before. Or if someone is unfamiliar with other works and is just entering the Star Wars universe , we present them for the first time, ”said Favreau.
