"And you must take a day trip to the to the Holographic Museum of Extinct Animals. There are some truly fascinating creatures on display. I found the mantabog of Malastare to be utterly… Ah. Look at that, here we are. Amnesty Housing."
―A taxi droid — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[1]

The Holographic Museum of Extinct Animals was a museum in Galactic City, the ecumenopolis that covered[1] the Core Worlds[2] planet Coruscant. It displayed several extinct creatures, including the mantabog of[1] the planet[2] Malastare.[1] Around 9 ABY,[3] a taxi droid recommended a day trip to the museum to Doctor Penn Pershing, a new arrival to Corsucant that the droid was driving from the Galaxies Opera House to Amnesty Housing. The droid claimed to have found several of the creatures on display at the museum fascinating and began to speak about the mantabog before the conversation was interrupted by their arrival at the housing's landing bay.[1]

  3. ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition, SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the latter of which includes "Chapter 19: The Convert," must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
