The Mandalorian will be set in hitherto unexplored parts of the Star Wars universe. It takes places after the fall of the Empire (Episode VI: Return of the Jedi) but before the rise of the first order (Episode VII: The Force Awakens). We don't want to get our hopes up too high, but this means any of the characters from the new trilogy could possibly make appearances at some point. Wouldn't it be cool to get some backstory?!
