In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, writer Joby Harold talked about the vibes heading in, "It takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, in a time of darkness in the galaxy," Harold told Entertainment Weekly. "The Empire is in the ascendancy. And all the horrors that come with the Empire are being made manifest throughout the galaxy. And the Jedi Order as we know them are being all but wiped out. So everything that was in the prequels has crumbled."
