- "Who brought you here?"
"We brought ourselves. Why?"
"Honey, Borgo is full of the nastiest pirates in the sector. It's not safe here for children." - ―Melna and Fern
The pirate market,[3] also known as Starport Borgo bazaar,[4] was a market located on Borgo Prime, an asteroid infamous for criminal and pirate activity. The market was full of so-called[2] kiosks,[5] including a noodle bar, a pet store, and a provisional medcenter.[2]
Behind the scenes
The pirate market first appeared in the live-action television series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, making its canonical debut in the second episode, titled "Way, Way Out Past the Barrier,"[2] which premiered on December 2, 2024.[6] Several scenes with the bazaar, however, were previously shown in promotional materials, including the official trailer.[7]

Notes and references
- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"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 must all be set in 9 ABY as well. 
SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
