When Does the Ahsoka Disney+ show take place on the Star Wars Timeline?

There's a lot of Star Wars these days. Some good. Some Great.

And now we have to fit the live-action version of Ashoka into the Star Wars timeline.

Where does the show fit?

If you recall her appearance in season 2 of The Mandalorian episode The Jedi, we know she is hunting Grand Admiral Thrawn.

And we know The Mandalorian is set after the events of Return of the Jedi - thus we can speculate with a degree of comfort about the chronology of Ashoka.
 
when is ashoka set in star wars timeframe


The "Ahsoka" Disney+ show is set after the events of "Star Wars: Rebels" and "The Mandalorian." Ahsoka Tano's last appearance in "Star Wars: Rebels" occurs in the season 2 finale, which is situated around 4 years before the events of "A New Hope."

Subsequently, her appearance in "The Mandalorian" takes place several years after the collapse of the Galactic Empire, showcasing her progression and acquired experience.

Considering these narrative references, it is reasonable to infer that the "Ahsoka" show is positioned chronologically after her involvement in "The Mandalorian," 10 - 11 years ABY (After the Battle of Yavin).

At this point in the show it's an estimate, will update when revealed.
