    I've always wondered how old certain characters are or how long they've been around. This might be impossible but if anybody could help me figure out the approximate ages of these characters then I'd appreciate it.

    Ackbar
    Grand Moff Tarkin
    Grand Admiral Thrawn
    Qui Gon Jinn
    Lando Calrissian
    Emperor Palpatine(when he died in Empire's End)
    Jango Fett
    Count Dooku
    Mace Windu
    Yaddle

    I'm only guessing on these but I'd have to say.

    Qui Gon Jinn - 50s when he died
    Lando Calrissian - 50s
    Jango Fett - 30s/40s when died.
    Count Dooku - 80s/90s
    Mace Windu - 50s
    Yaddle - I think she was younger then Yoda so she'd be younger then 700 or so I think.

    Qui-Gon was born 92 BBY
    Palpatine: 82 BBY
    Lando: 31 BBY
    Mace: 72 BBY
    Yaddle: 519 BBY
    Tarkin: ~ 63 BBY

    I don't recall the ages for the others

    Qui-Gon was age 60 according the TPM, and later sourcebooks IIRC.

    I think we can narrow Jango down a bit agewise. According to the TFN Timeline the first part of 'Jango Fett: Open Seasons' takes place 58 BBY. When he is orphaned in that he looks around 8-10 years old. Jango is killed on Geonosis 22 BBY. So that would put him at 44-46 years old at his time of death.

    "Qui-Gon was born 92 BBY

    That would put Qui-Gon at 60 when he died.

    That would put Palps at 86 when he died.

    That would put Lando at 36 during ROTJ.

    That would put Mace at 50 during AOTC and 53 during EPIII.

    That would put Yaddle at 500 during EpIII, 497 in AOTC and 487 in TPM

    That would put Tarkin at 44 during epIII and 63 in ANH *duh*

    Just a lil fyi in the case that bib's info is true.

    Ackbar was in his mid fifties during the Thrawn Crisis. That would put him at around 90 by the end of the NJO.
