If 60, how does Luke look so young?

If it is true that Luke is in his 60's, how could he look so young? I saw the picture on Wikipedia of him when he fought with Lumiya and he look just about the way he did in return of the jedi. Even in Legacy, he looked as he did in episode 6, his ghost was sporting a youth appearance. Obiwan had his old appearance when he was a ghost, What's the secret? Does anyone have any current pictures of what Luke actually looks like?

Here is a link to the cover of the lasted star wars legacy book Inferno. Its the lastest artwork I could find that he is still alive in.

Thank You! Now he looks like he has a little bit of age on him. Not bad for 60.

I decide to explain it to myself that he is in incredible shape and that the Force has allowed him to retain youthful energy and strength, so why not appearance, even if slightly?

Luke isn't that bad, Mara however.....just ridiculous.

This is Mara, age 58:

lol@Mara looking like a 27 year old supermodel at 58.

Those cover artists really must love smoking crack.

lol would you prefer this as Mara Jade Cover?

Imagine that....Grandma Mara.... 😛

This is the very reason they killed Adrian from Rocky Balboa...

Older men tend to look charismatic. Older women... Well... See the previous image....

Wow.. Mara is still smokin' hot at age 58..

How consistent!

Don`t people age slower in SW galaxy? I think that their level of medical technology is quite high....

Well, Jedi certainly do. However there is a difference between slow aging and reverse aging as in Maras case.

Only if she were a rappin' granny.

Well iv read about jedi master fay, yes the one with pointy ears and they said despite being so old and still looking like a beautiful 20 year old, its because of her so called "immensely strong connection to the force". - wookiepedia

Thats very fallible seeing that luke and anakin, whom has the strongest connection to the force still shows sign of aging. In the LOTF cover, we see luke with abit of age, as for anakin in ROTJ when he removes his mask, he looks like humpty dumpty.

aging effects are cause by chemicals wearing away in the skin, in the star wars universe they probally have stuff that keeps it in our skin (like people are developing now) or it could be physical activity or even the force, or that they didnt want him to look old and withered. as for mara who in the hell would what her hotness to go away 😛

I think the real question here is, how did Padme not age at all throughout the PT? Could this mean she's force sensative!? ;o
