    Default Mandalorian, 5 or 9 years after ROTJ?

    When it premiered, Jon Favreau said it takes place 5 years after ROTJ. But I've been reading other accounts that its more like 9 years, which brings it closer to the state of the galaxy when Force Awakens debuts.

    So, is it 5 or 9?

    A lot more have said five, it’s probably because that would be 9ABY that causes confusion.

    Five. Ignore fake news.

    Seriously, why would you think Favreau wouldn't know??

    Yeah, as mentioned above a lot of Star Wars timelines are relative to the first film, or "Battle at Yavin". ROTJ is set 4 years after ANH (For added reference ESB is at 3) so it's 4 after the battle of Yavin+5 after ROTJ for Mandalorian=9ABY. Sequels are 34-35 ABY.

    Prequels, Rebels, Rogue One, Solo etc are BBY (Before Battle of Yavin).

    Essentially in terms of movies and TV stuff (I think):

    High Republic/The Acolyte: Approx 232 BBY
    Phantom Menace: 32 BBY
    Attack of the Clones: 22 BBY
    The Clone Wars: 22-19 BBY
    Revenge of the Sith: 19 BBY
    The Bad Batch: 19-? BBY
    Solo: 12-10 BBY
    Lando: 10? BBY
    Obi-Wan Kenobi: 9 BBY
    Rebels: 5-0 BBY
    Andor: ?-0 BBY (Before Rogue One)
    Rogue One: 0 BBY
    A New Hope: 0 BBY
    Empire Strikes Back: 3 ABY
    Return of the Jedi: 4 ABY
    The Mandalorian/Rangers of the New Republic/Ashoka: 9-? ABY
    Resistance: 33-34? ABY (Six months before TFA to just after TLJ)
    The Force Awakens: 34 ABY
    The Last Jedi: 34 ABY
    The Rise of Skywalker: 35 ABY
    Rogue Squadron: 35+? ABY (Apparently)

    Is that everything?
