“One key element of this report was that the series would be set in The High Republic era, but at Star Wars Celebration, it was revealed that the series actually takes place around the same time as The Mandalorian — which, for those not in the know, is approximately 280 years after The High Republic era.”
The Mandalorian takes place after the first time the Death Star is destroyed and the Empire is on the ropes but comes roaring back in, “The Empire Strikes Back,” which is when Yoda was still alive and died during that movie. Right?
I think the writer of the article misheard something. Possibly misheard something and has no idea about Star Wars. Everything else I’ve read says it takes place during HR.
