Set about five years after the fall of the Empire, before the rise of
the First Order, The Mandalorian is an exploration of a new era in
Star Wars storytelling onscreen. While there are some tattered remains
of Imperial rule, visually realized in the familiar soldiers in
stormtrooper armor, the focus of this story is far from where we left
off with the central conflict between the Rebel Alliance and the
Empire in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. In fact, the stormtroopers
themselves are looking less pristine than their Imperial-era brothers,
a symptom of the hardscrabble nature of the times.
In-universe, the story unfolds in the outer reaches, a galactic
frontier far from the long arm of the laws upheld by the fledgling New
Republic, and focused on a lone gunfighter wearing the unmistakable
armor of the storied warriors of Mandalore.
