According to Jon Favreau, there’s currently no end in sight for the live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian. He’s confirmed that they have no ending for the series planned out and that the characters “could potentially be with us for a while.”

So, while this series could continue for years to come, don’t expect Mando and Grogu to cross over into the era of the Star Wars prequel series, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker. Dave Filoni was recently asked about this in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, and he said:

"That's a great question, and we talk about many different things. That’s a question for a bunch of characters by the way, not just Grogu. Where are they during these events? If anything, having made The Clone Wars and weaving a tale so intricately between two movies that were much closer together, I've learned that there's expansive room in this galaxy for us to tell stories and have characters doing things.

"As a kid, when Yoda said, 'When gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be,' to Luke, I took that very literally. Well, now we know that’s anything but true. There are many different people that could wield the force, and maybe Luke is the last Jedi as far as what Yoda would consider a Jedi. So we'll just have to wait and see how the story evolves and what makes sense. But in my experience, there's definitely a way to weave everything together and make it exciting. It's possible it would never even have to cross over with what we saw [in the sequel trilogy] if the story has us somewhere else." 

Now, The Mandalorian has already referenced the sequel trilogy in an episode in season 2, which potentially revealed the origins of Snoke – and the season 3 premiere featuring Anzellans, AKA the Babu Frik species. But, that’s about it.

I think Star Wars fans will be fine with the series not having any major crossovers with the sequel trilogy. A lot of fans would just like to think that those films don’t even exist.
