Summary
The science behind the 2023 bookThe Science of the Mandalorianby Mark Brake points to just how ' long ago ' theStar Warstimeline might be . Although it ’s impossible to pinpoint exactly when these stories take berth , in part because the movies go out of their path to be vague about both the time and the location , a bit of cosmogeny and some agile maths can offer a rough estimate oftheStar Warstimeline . According toThe scientific discipline of the Mandalorianauthor Mark Brake , The Mandalorianstory in particularmay align with the existence of Earth , perhaps makingStar Warsa little nigher than expected .
Brake excuse the logic behind this estimate inThe Science of The Mandalorian .
Let ’s conclude this incision on The Mandalorian clock . This is , naturally , only an approximation , one which assumes standardized tract in galactic , wandering , and biological phylogeny in the Star Wars galaxy as our own Galaxy . Nonetheless , our Mandalorian clock enumeration study six billion years for a planet on which life can develop , and a further three billion geezerhood until evolved beings begin to take a form we would recognize as animals . Roughly nine billion year . All told , this means that the drama that blossom in The Mandalorian want to be around nine billion class after the Big Bang . Since the Earth is roughly 4.5 billion years one-time , and the Universe or so 13.8 billion years of age , this puts the age of the Mandalorian story very roughly around the same age as satellite Earth .
Star Wars Is Truly An Ancient Galactic Story (So Don’t Expect Earth After Ahsoka)
While it ’s playfulness to imagine Earth ’s realism intersecting withtheStar Warsgalaxy , and while whetherEarth is part of theStar Warsgalaxyhas sure enough been a topic of interest over the years , the tagline is " a long time ago , in a extragalactic nebula far , far forth " for a ground . The movies have address in their scrolling yellow text for 10 : this is a freestanding , distant , untouchable time and place . Star Warsis also intend to be an ancient , antic taradiddle , and while the report and messages do come across and touch base with modern take and position , bringing Earth in as a piece of the largerStar Warsgalaxy would undercut some of that phantasy .
Even if Earth does be somewhere out there in tandem withThe Mandalorianstory ( since it ’s honest that Earth was also form a long metre ago ) , Earth is still far , far away fromThe Mandalorianand the residuum of theStar Warsgalaxy — farther even than Ezra Bridger was inAhsoka . canonise Earth as a satellite in theStar Warsuniverse is also not necessary amid the massive changes already in the work for the franchise ; Dave Filoni has his eyes fix onThe Mandalorianmovie , fresh and exciting change to the Force , andRey ’s new Jedi Order . There ’s but no way for uncover Earth in the already expandingStar Warsgalaxy .
