Star Wars has finally answered a big question about The Mandalorian, and it has given us even more insight into the history of Din Djarin.

We learn in The Mandalorian that Din Djarin was orphaned when droids killed his parents, but just when this incident took place has never been clear. The droids were Clone Wars-era, but that didn't necessarily mean the event took place during the Clone Wars.

That clears up some details about Din Djarin's mysterious past, meaning we can guess his age – on the Star Wars timeline, the Clone Wars began in 22 BBY, and The Mandalorian is set around 9-11 ABY. So, depending on how old he was in the flashback, that makes Djarin somewhere in his late 30s to early 40s. This is also one of the few solid details we have about Djarin's life before the show, so it's an interesting glimpse into his shadowy history.
