The Ahsoka series is set in the New Republic era, several years after the fall of the Empire in Return of the Jedi and around the same general timeframe as The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.

When is Ahsoka set in the Star Wars timeline?

  • The show takes place after the events of Return of the Jedi (which is set in 4 ABY, “After the Battle of Yavin”).
  • It shares a similar period with The Mandalorian , meaning the galaxy is in the early New Republic phase, with the Empire officially defeated but remnants still active.
  • In-universe, that puts Ahsoka roughly a few years after the Empire’s fall, well before the sequel trilogy (The Force Awakens , etc.).

A simple way to think of it:

Clone Wars → Original Trilogy → Empire Falls → Ahsoka / The Mandalorian era → Sequel Trilogy.

Connection to other shows

  • It is a direct spin‑off of The Mandalorian and happens in “the same timeframe” as that series and its related spin‑offs.
  • It continues story threads from the animated Star Wars Rebels , especially regarding Thrawn and the fate of Ezra Bridger, but now placed in this post‑Empire New Republic setting.
