Favreau shared some details about the show while attending the red carpet event at the Solo premiere on Thursday. Nerdist senior editor Dan Casey dropped the exclusive news on Twitter. 

Favreau told Nerdist the series takes place seven years after the Battle of Endor, positioning it between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens on the Star Wars timeline. That gives the show several decades to play around with between the events of the original trilogy and where The Force Awakens picks up.
