I am confused, little help please

ok, this i am sure has been posted but i need clarity, i am a bit confused. all i am wanting to know is the ages of anakin and obi-wan from ep. I to ep. IV, so basically, set it up like my theory below, thanks!

PM - Anakin - 10, Obi-Wan - 25

AOTC - Anakin - 20, Obi-Wan - 35

ROTS - Anakin - 22, Obi-Wan - 37

ANH - Anakin (Vader) - 40's???, Obi-Wan - 60's???

Just need some clarity, oh god, well better say it...............BRING THE FLAMES!!!! 😠 😄 🙂

Not so sure about Obi-Wan's age. That's always been debatable.

I always figured he was around 30 in TPM....

TPM: Obi-Wan: 25 Anakin: 9
AOTC: Obi-Wan:35 Anakin: 19
ROTS: Obi-Wan: 37 Anakin: 21
ANH: Obi-Wan: 56 Anakin: 40 Luke:19
ESB: Anakin: 42 Luke: 21
ROTJ Anakin: 43 Luke: 22

I don't find Obi-Wan ANH age convincing... especially considering that Alec Guinness was 63 in ANH. I have the feeling he was supposed to be older in ANH, but this was changed to fit the prequels...
I also feel that Vader/Anaking was supposed to be a crumbled old man in ROTJ, at least 60-something, not 43. Sebastion Shaw was 78 in 1983.

Seems to work 🙂

Sounds good to me 🙂

I thought there were 3 years between Eps. II & III so:
TPM Ob1-25 Ani-10
AotC Ob1- 35 Ani-20
RotS Ob1- 38 Ani- 23

Also, DEFINITELY 3 years between 5 & 6

3 years?! Poor Han...

Wasn't it more something like 2-3 years between IV and V, and 1 between V and VI?

Also, DEFINITELY 3 years between 5 & 6

What did it take them 3 years to think of a way to outsmart a Huttese gangster?

ANH was ment to be set 40yrs after TPM
and Rots was ment to be 5 years after aotc

Obi-Wan: 25 Anakin: 9
AOTC: Obi-Wan:35 Anakin: 19
ROTS: Obi-Wan: 40 Anakin: 24
ANH: Obi-Wan: 65 Anakin: 49
ESB: Anakin: 51
ROTJ Anakin: 54

Well, I guess Lucas thought so, I just went back and looked at the official timeline at the OS...3 years. Maybe that bounty hunter on Ord Mandell took a LONG time to deal with....plus Luke has mature more than a year...

Um...its like 6-9 months between TESB and ROTJ

Shadows of the Empire set that up.

as far as i know it's 10 years between I and II, 3 years between II and III, 20 years between III and IV, 3 years between IV and V, and 6 months between V and VI

i thinks its

I - 10yrs - II
II - 5yrs - III
III - 25yrs - VI

But Shadows is EU, and this is a canon thread. Let me copy the timeline and post it here, but it may be tomorrow.

nope,the time gap between 2 &3 is meant to be in real time, so 3 years between AOTC & ROTS

TPM : Obi-Wan: 25 Anakin: 9
AOTC: Obi-Wan:35 Anakin: 19
ROTS: Obi-Wan: 38 Anakin: 22

That is if Obi's starting age is correct. Anankin was supposed to be 9 in TPM..
