That’s all you need to know, but with each passing season Mandalorian culture, history, and tradition become more integral to understanding the motivations of Djarin and his people.

This stretches out the timeline between Mandalorian season 2 and 3 quite a bit and stretches out the timelines that the series covers to several years.
#WHICH YEAR ABY WILL STAR WARS EPISODE 9 UPDATE#
See? They even titled it for you so you can’t miss it.Īdditional context on the Mandalorian season 3Ī pretty big update has just dropped with Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau announcing on a podcast that, while Grogu training with Luke Skywalker might have felt like a very short part of the Boba Fett story, Grogu actually trained with Skywalker for two years. If you’re solely concerned with Mando, and couldn’t care less about a crusty old clone who got knocked into a Sarlaac pit by a blind Han Solo, skip right to Chapter 5 of 7, 'Return of The Mandalorian,' to get all the essential beats. Although it bears a separate title, this show essentially serves as Season 2.5 of The Mandalorian, dedicating much of the back half of its run to checking in on Din Djarin’s post-Grogu routine, the consequences of his journey to reunite the Child with the Jedi, and whatever happened to that neat Darksaber after he took it from Moff Gideon. In this case, we have an easy prescription for what ails you: The Book of Boba Fett. Questions like, 'Didn’t the last season end with Mando giving Grogu up to Luke? How are they back together again?' And, 'What did he do to tick off his clan so bad that he’s going on this redemption pilgrimage back to Mandalore?' We will warn you that if you go straight from Season 2 into Season 3, you’ll probably be asking yourself a lot of questions. You won’t find much in the way of new Mandalorian story there even as the most dedicated completionist. There have been junior novelizations, a graphic novel, and even a manga based on the show, but all of these are adaptive material. No need to check out any novels or comics or audio dramas set during this time period. If you’re concerned you may be missing some context going straight from Season 2 to Season 3 of the show, well… the good news is that everything you need is on Disney+.
What you may have missed after The Mandalorian Season 2. Looking forward, that’s 25 years before the events of The Force Awakens. The original Star Wars film trilogy takes place over 4 years, so our 'home base' for The Mandalorian and all associated projects is set five years after Return of the Jedi. Everything which has occurred thus far in The Mandalorian has taken place in what we refer to out of fiction as '9 ABY' – nine years After the Battle of Yavin, an allusion to the climactic events of the original Star Wars film. So, let’s help you get your ship legs back. Each story informing the others, backwards and forwards in time, through new light exposing added context. One of the of the franchise’s most powerful signatures is the nonlinearity of its installments, and how each new story could potentially take place on an unexplored section of an always developing timeline extending thousands of years from before the twin suns of Tatooine ever set on Luke Skywalker, to long after his name has passed into legend. The fact that Star Wars began with its 'fourth episode' in 1977 should tell you a lot about the nature of Star Wars. Temporally, getting back to where we started the Disney+ era of Star Wars storytelling can be disorienting to say the least.īut that’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
We returned to Tatooine for a passage from The Book of Boba Fett, traveled backwards in time to the exile of Obi-Wan Kenobi, witnessed the dawning of the Rebel Alliance in Andor, and followed the Bad Batch into the first year of the Imperial Regime. Star Wars fans have been through quite a lot since Din Djarin bid farewell to the Child at the end of the Mandalorian's last season. Grab your Grogu, because the Season 3 premiere of The Mandalorian will be making its Disney+ landing on March 1.
