Podcaster Rik Villanueva who is a huge, huge fan of Star Wars, posted an interesting timeline that puts the complete franchise into a real world timeline that starts in 1952 with The Phantom Menace and culminates and ends with The Rise of Skywalker in 2019.
Episodes I, II, and III take place in the 1950s and 1960s, and Episodes IV, V, and VI are in the 1980s. The Mandalorian got the date of 1993 and things stay in place till the Episodes VII, VIII and IX in 2018 and 2019.
This puts an interesting perspective on time in the #StarWars universe. pic.twitter.com/NbiFSr8Wce
