Anakin's Canon Age[edit source]

So, it looks like Anakin's age in Attack of the Clones in this article has been cited as 19 based on the fact that he's known to have been born in 41 BBY. This is a change from Legends, in which he was always said to be 20 in Attack of the Clones. However, the 41 BBY birth year seems to me to be consistent with the Legends explanation of him being born at 41.9 BBY (still less than 42 years before ANH), leaving him almost 10 in TPM and barely 20 in AotC. The 20-year-old age in AotC was also supported by various promotional materials for the film at the time it came out. I would think this could still be the intention of the story group for the canon, unless we have a source explicitly stating that he's 19 in AotC (I haven't seen one, but maybe it exists?).

Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide says he was born 41 years "BR1/before the Rogue One mission" and is 41 years old in the movie. Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know says he is 20 years old when he marries Padmé. Toqgers (talk) 08:42, June 24, 2020 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for the detail! But that would appear to leave only 21 years between AotC and ANH, instead of the usual 22 years? I guess maybe he either turns 20 during AotC, or turns 42 during Rogue One/ANH? RainbowDroideka (talk) 23:44, July 4, 2020 (UTC)

The newly-published The Star Wars Book states that Anakin is 10 years old when Qui-Gon finds him on Tattoine. Is this a mistake?Kingsman28 (talk) 22:12, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, okay it does seem to be a mistake as later on the book states that Anakin is 9 years old when Qui-Gon meets him. Guess it's a disagreement between Holocron files.Kingsman28 (talk) 22:50, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
