According to multiple sources, including GamesRadar, Screen Rant, Dexerto, Collider, Den of Geek, and Polygon, Ahsoka takes place after the fall of the Empire and before the rise of the First Order, between Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The show is set in the New Republic era, roughly around 9-12 ABY, which is four years after Star Wars: A New Hope. The events of Ahsoka and The Mandalorian season 3 run concurrently, with Ahsokas absence from the effort to reclaim Mandalore explained. Ahsoka takes place within the first 10 years of the New Republic, showing the struggles in establishing their government and the return of Thrawn. The exact year is not specified, but it is confirmed to be between 9 and 12 years after the Battle of Yavin.
