age of LS

[snoopy trooper[TK]]

OK i just was watching SW on spike TV and i was just thinking of how old Luke skywalker would be in # 4 . he should be about 18-20 . what do you all think his age is in that one ?

I think after ROTS came out they established Luke & Leia as 19 in ANH.

That sounds about right.

Yup thats what I had heard as well.

Actually the original movie IIRC Luke was 18 and Leia was 16 or so. Remember originally they were not siblings - that idea and the data behind it came later.

I could be wrong but I seem to remember in the original novelization of Star Wars it said he was 20.

It should be 20. Both Luke and Leia born after the end of the Clone Wars, and it takes 20 years to go from Clone trooper to TK. But everything points to the fact they still use clones as troopers, the armor changes, and they use a mix of men for trooper templates.
