There’s Apparently Been Way More Time Since Season 2 Than Anyone Thought

Thought putting a bunch of story and theme-critical exploration in a completely different show was weird? Well, Jon Favreau made it even weirder today in the run up to the season in a press interview, where he made it seem like The Mandalorian has been taking up a much larger part of Star Wars chronology than anyone had previously assumed. The producer referred to Grogu and Din’s adventures as having taken place over “many years,” before noting that it had been two years since Grogu went to go train with Luke.
Does he just mean it’s been two years since season two? Maybe. Does he mean that it’s really been that long and then suddenly a lot of things that happened during The Book of Boba Fett make much less sense? Also maybe. Guess we’ll start finding out tomorrow!
