we would be honored if you would join us hey guys in today's
video i'm going to give you a quick rundown of the mandalorian timeline now
this video might not be needed for my more hardcore viewers however if you
are one of them thank you for watching please stay and
let me know if i missed anything now that being said this is intended to
clear up a bit of confusion to some of you
who are more casual star wars fans in regards to where the mandalorian fits in
the overall star wars timeline relative to the movies the mandalorian
takes place on the fringes of the galaxy and is a slick space western with a very
lone wolf and cub inspired feel about it when it comes to the main character and
baby yoda we have also seen stormtroopers in dirty
beat up armor working for the client that sent
our bounty hunter hero to find the cute little green youngling
in the first place but we also know from some of the conversations demando has
had with the bounty hunter guild representative grief karga that
the empire is gone and all there is left of them are
mercenaries and warlords the new republic has also been mentioned
so where the heck are we how can there be stormtroopers if the empire is gone
and if the empire is gone where's the first order wasn't yoda
almost a thousand years old when he died so if he's a baby
does this take place in the past instead even before the original trilogy and the
prequels but if it's the past how can there be a new republic
shouldn't it just be the republic now i can see how a lot of you can be
confused for the more laid-back star wars enthusiasts
out there so let me try and clear this up as much as i can
okay first of all the show takes place approximately five years after the
events of return of the jedi so after the
second death star blew up the emperor was destroyed seemingly and
darth vader was redeemed so that means that the series is also
set at about 30 years before rey finn kylo and the
rest in the force awakens and the new sequel trilogy
after the end of the original trilogy the rebel alliance used the incredible
victory against the empire they had achieved at the battle of endor
to move quickly and re-establish the galactic senate
that very same year as they transitioned from the alliance
to restore the republic the new republic but rather than placing their new
galactic government on coruscant as the former republic and the empire had done
the new republic first assembled their government on the planet
chandrila the home of chancellor mon mothma as they held the galactic corps
the new republic military forces were able to topple the empire and push the
remnant of the imperials outwards towards the outer rim worlds
which is the part of space our mandalorian bounty hunter spends most of
his time at though a large number of the imperial
forces also receded into the unknown regions
it was there where they would reform it later into the first order
it's a very chaotic time the rising new republic
is still trying to consolidate and cement its power in the galaxy
while still dealing with the imperial remnant and other new separatist
factions that have popped up to challenge their authority werner
herzog's character who is the client that wants baby yoda is part of
or at least working for the imperial remnant this
is why he is guarded by beaten up stormtroopers now as for baby yoda well
he's not the old yoda from the previous trilogies
we still don't know who he truly is only that he is 50 years old
which for species that can live up to nearly a thousand still makes him a baby
but the scientist who is also working with the imperial remnant perhaps
against his will has an insignia on his uniform that
matches those used by the kamino cloners in the clone
wars this could suggest that the yoda baby
is a clone of the old jedi master though it's possible that he could also be the
reincarnation of the actual yoda or he's just another yoda species and we
don't know anything about yoda species that's why everyone just refers to him
as baby yoda i mean it's not like they're going to call him baby yadal
but regardless this particular member of the yoda species was born around the
same time as anakin skywalker and not centuries in the past like the
real yoda so basically the mandalorian will shed some light on the 30-year
period between episode vi return of the jedi and episode vii the
force awakens i hope this video was a bit informative to the newcomers here
that enjoy star wars and are just getting into the mandalorian have an
awesome rest of your day and i'll see you in the next video
until then remember the force will be with you always
you
