The Mandalorian takes place five years after the Battle of Endor ( Return of the Jedi), and the Battle of Endor took place in 4 A.B.Y.

What's the deal with this green baby? We're told in Chapter 1 that Mando's target is 50 years old. So far, none of these planets have been obviously places we've seen before in Star Wars canon. The place where the Bounty Hunter's Guild meets looks like a familiar cantina, but has a window behind the bar that doesn't appear in A New Hope's central Tatooine watering hole. Kuiil the Ugnaught's camp is styled more like the base camp on Jakku than the Lars Homestead. Outside the lair of 'the client' (Werner Herzog) is one of the eyeball-on-a-stick security droids that we first saw outside Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi. The Stormtroopers in dirty armor don't represent the Empire since the Empire is dead - they represent something that used to be Imperial repurposed. With the New Republic just starting to get a foothold in the galaxy, a lot of the Outer Rim planets are still relying on scraping together whatever they can to get by without a central government. This is keeping with the grand tradition of Star Wars, which is fond of starting its stories with a desert planet on the Outer Rim, but that also means that it's hard to tell some desert planets apart. In this first episode of The Mandalorian, we see a lot of desert tech. That's also how we should expect to get our information about him: a steady drip. He's not becoming himself - he's becoming legend, piece by piece, bounty by bounty. He has the helmet to represent Mandalore, a signet to honor something (probably Mandalore), and he's building scintillating Beskar armor. We're dealing with a rogue who is amassing symbols to build a personal mythology. He's a badass, he's mysterious, and in the case of The Mandalorian, we can't see his face or hear his un-distorted voice.

When Mando takes out some bar bullies while apprehending the Mythrol played by Horatio Sanz, we're introduced to a cowboy walking into a saloon, the 'man with no name' archetype.

Mando is collecting Beskar to make authentic Mandalorian armor, slowly piecing together a full shiny set of new duds.ДЄll of these plot points are cool to think about and may be dealt with, but mostly serve to orient us in-universe to the mood set by the first scene of the show. Beskar is an extremely strong alloy that could even deflect a lightsaber blow. There's lots of talk of Beskar, special Mandalorian Steel that was taken by the Empire at some point (during the Great Purge) and made into marked ingots. The Ugnaught Kuiil, voiced by Nick Nolte, helps The Mandalorian find his bounty in the episode just because he'd heard stories of Mandalorians but never met one. A significant Clan or a House maybe? What symbol would be so recognizable in this world that Mandalorians have to keep it hidden?Д®ven if our Mando is a Foundling and has very little connection to his family line, he does seem to represent the Mandalorian cause just as much as he shows us the bounty hunter lifestyle. However, since this signet info is dropped in conversation between two Mandalorians, it suggests this signet won't be about a political alliance, but an identity reveal. A 'signet' is usually a symbol on a ring, and in previous non-canon Star Wars stories they were used to show one's allegiance to the Rebels, Empire, or Jedi. She asks if he's revealed his signet yet, and he says he hasn't and she tells him he will soon. The reason the structure might be important to note revolves around the scene in Chapter 1 where Mando goes to visit another Mandalorian armorer who melts down his Beskar steel into a shiny new pauldron. The political structure is a pyramid shape with a single leader, the Mand'alor, at the top, 'Houses' in the middle level and the base being 'Clans,' which were more likely to be made up by bloodline connections. Last seen in Star Wars: Rebels, the Mandalorians were just uniting under the banner of a new leader who was part of House Kryze. They're completely separate from Jango and Boba Fett, who were revealed to be the genetic basis for the Clone Army of the Republic in Attack of the Clones. But the Mandalorian Culture got a major retcon when Disney bought Lucasfilm and reset the expanded universe of novels, comics, and video games.
