Well let's see. She joined the council at the age of 23, in 41 BBY. She died in 21 BBY. So yeah she was about 42, 43.

So she entered the Council as a true master nearly in the same age Anakin had (22) and was younger then Mace (28) when he entered the Council but somehow both Anakin and Obi-Wan (who entered the Council in his mid 30s) manage to surpass her in terms of force powers or force knowledge ? Sure...

Not to mention that she would still be able to outduel both of them.

She could not have joined the council at the age of 22. Obi didn't only say that he was the youngest, he specificlly said, "at your age". So Depa must have been older than 22. Anything that contradict the movie is wrong.

Yeah, I think there was a timeline error somewhere.

I'm going to skim through Shatterpoint and see where it is.

But I must keep in mind:

- Mace is 52 during the Clone Wars. At the very least, you have to be 10 years older than your apprentice.

- Let's assume Depa is 42, then. She was on the Council 12 years before, making her 30 years old during TPM. She could have been put on the Council at the age of 29-30, making her effectively appointed a bit older than Mace and far older than Anakin, which would make sense because Anakin is near her in power (if not more powerful) when she's at her peak and when Anakin's 22.

That sounds about it. But remember, power is not why you are chosen to the council only....

Well, power and wisdom. And Anakin in the latter category....

None of what I posted was true.

Jedi were chosen for their wisdom, strength or knowledge in the force, saber skills and other combat abilities, and military leadership.

What a big pile of...

It's nowhere stated when Mace did save her but it's stated that she was 6 months old at this time. Period.
Even if Mace was very young when he did this - he was the youngest Council Member ever until Anakin in ROTS. And we know that he became Council Member at the age of 28. There is no way Depa could have joined the Council earlier than the age of 28 meaning it's outright impossible that she was on the Council in 43 or 44 BBY since that would mean she was equally old compared to Mace (max 1 or 2 years younger) and I doubt that Mace did save her from a bunch of space-pirates when he was 1 or 2 years old.

Next time better learn how to read before doing research in your "library"...

All that info is valid and accurate.

In your own universe or what ? It's obviously wrong, dude.

Her being 6 months old was shortly cleared up as it didn't make sense.

I'm still waiting and post it here...

And I'm still waiting, Kent. Can't be that hard to find some backup for your claims after having done research at your "library"...

Or can it be that you just posted some serious BS as I said ?

Oh sorry, I forgot about this thread. It was stated in an interview and press conference.

You call that giving me a source ? Lmao. Who said this ? Where did the interview happen ? Why can't jack shit of this be found in the actual source material ?

I do not remember. However I know for sure so I consider the case closed.
