The Mandalorian " takes place after the events in the original "Star Wars " trilogy. - Insider made a
timeline to show how "The Mandalorian" and other upcoming "Star Wars"TV shows fit into the chronological timeline of events.
If you've ever wondered how the sprawling "Star Wars" universe all fits together, look no further than the chronological timeline of movies and TV shows we've made here.
During a 2019 D23 Expo panel, Disney showed audiences a look at the new narrative timeline of events and how the new projects — including the currently untitled shows — will work to tell one massive galactic space opera.
Insider took that timeline and reworked it into an easy-to-scan format, which you can see below. In particular, fans might be curious about seeing the way "The Mandalorian" takes place after the original "Star Wars" trilogy.

Insider will add those movies (and other "Star Wars" projects) to our timeline once new information is revealed.
