The mandalorian [Spoilers]

Also, whaddaya wanna bet they make us wait at least two more episodes before we meet Ahsoka?

I'm waiting for the scene where he sees Ahsoka across a crowded cantina, thinks "well, she's obviously not a Jedi, they're short, green and wrinkly", and walks off.

What i don't get is Bo Katans age.

At 9 ABY its now been 28 years since the end of the Clone wars/ Order 66/ the siege of Mandalor and the Proclamation of the New Order by Palpatine.

Even presuming she was only 17 during the seige of Mandalor that makes her at least 45 now, and the actress portraying her is a young looking 40.

Must have access to some quality botox in the galaxy far far away.

Sackhoff was born in 1980, so she's exactly 40 years old.

What do you think 40 year olds look like?

He ended up getting the facehugger after all. LOL

I enjoyed this one. I wonder if they use 501st members for some of the stormtroopers. I think it would be awesome if they did.

They did in episode 8 of season 1.

Yeah I get that. Im a young looking 46 IRL.

Bo Katan must be at least 45 in 9 ABY though, presuming she was 17 during the siege of Mandalore. The only way the ages line up is if she was 12 during rhe Seige and she looked like a young woman of around 20 during the Seige which places her age in the show at around 48.

There are plenty of women in their 40s and 50s who don’t look a day past 30. Yeah, sure, Bo-Katan’s life is a lot rougher than a Hollywood actress’s but still ... maybe she just inherited good genes as well as that armor!

EDIT: This is interesting: 'The Mandalorian' finally fixes one of the worst things about Star Wars

For sure man. I just found it a bit jarring. The actress playing her is a young looking 40 as well (she looks mid 30's at most), and Bo Katarn must be at least 45 (and probably closer to 50) in 9ABY.

The live action version looked 10-15 years older than the animated version at most when it's been closer to 30 years since we saw her in the Siege of Mandalore.

I think it's more George Lucas brought back original actors in TPM.

The nostalgia pop is more important than anything else.

Fett's in his 30s but Temuera Morrison is in his 60s iirc.

Early in the old EU there was a 50 year gap between Clone Wars and ANH.

Mostly its just the actors since they don't recast.

Djin (to Bo Katan): 'What do you know of the Jedi?'

Bo Katan (has hung out with and fought side by side with Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ashoka Tano, Ezra Bridger etc and personally fought Darth Maul): 'A few things...'

Temuera Morrison is 59 (his birthday is in December).

Boba Fett was around 15 years old in TCW. Daniel Logan (who played young Boba in 2002 in TCW is 33 years old, making him 15 when playing the role). Seeing as that was around 31 years prior to Fetts most recent appearance in the Mandalorian, canonically Fett would currently be in his early 40's.

He was a Clone though so there could be some shenanigans going on there (even though the Kamonians didnt rapidly age him like they did the other Clone Troopers) and he did also spend some time in the belly of a Sarlacc which.... cant be good for the complexion.

People forget that Anakin/ Vader was only in his early 40s in ANH. He died before his 45th birthday in ROTJ.
