Other events worth noting: Grogu was born roughly 50 years prior to The Mandalorian, which means the creature is basically the same age as Anakin Skywalker. The Mandalorian season 3 picks up after the events of Boba Fett's show. Boba Fett's series picks up directly after the Mandalorian season 2 finale, with Din Djarin wielding the Darksaber and without Baby Yoda, real name Grogu, by his side. We can expect The Mandalorian to tie in with a few other Star Wars spin-offs, and Mando's appearance in The Book of Boba Fett shows that the writers are not afraid of a crossover. There's another quarter-of-a-century gap between The Mandalorian and the sequel trilogy, which means there's room for a few longer stories to be told. Leia, Han, Lando, and Chewie are all out there somewhere and could make an appearance in the show. That means we're treading on fertile ground for cameos – as we have already seen with appearances from Boba Fett, Ahsoka Tano, and Luke Skywalker. There have been books about the events between the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy, but few have told major stories about well-known characters. The Mandalorian takes place in a period of time that's been relatively untouched by Star Wars media. The Mandalorian timeline: what does that mean for the show and The Book of Boba Fett? Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – 35 ABY.

The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2 – 9 ABY.

Solo: A Star Wars Story – 13 BBY – 10 BBY.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith – 19 BBY.

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones – 22 BBY.

Here is the full picture of where The Mandalorian takes place in the Star Wars timeline – as per current canon. That would mean The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian season 3 are set in 11 ABY.

Jon Favreau revealed in a roundtable interview (via Skytalkers (opens in new tab)) that Grogu spent two years training with Luke.
