At my age, Luke Skywalker was...

At my age the Vong war is just about to begin. I guess the honeymoon is over. Geez, am i the oldest one around here?

 

Waiting for someone to claim they're a ghost bugging Cade.

 

At my age, Luke Skywalker was struggling to deal with the revelation that Darth Vader was his father, had resigned from Rogue Squadron to search for Han Solo, and had shot down an Imperial agent named Shira Brie.

At my age, Anakin Skywalker was married, the Hero With No Fear, and Master to a Jedi Padawan.

Other interesting tidbits:

At my age, Han Solo and Soontir Fel were at Carida.

At my age, Lando Calrissian was a gambler and con man who was still on his way up.

At my age, Wedge Antilles was a hotshot cofounder of Rogue Squadron.

At my age, Chewbacca was hanging around on Kashyyyk being ****ing awesome.

At my age, Jacen Solo was the Jedi hero of the Yuuzhan Vong War and in the middle of a five-year sojourn for knowledge that would see his status as paragon of the order destroyed and his morality strangely corrupted.

At my age, Jagged Fel was a colonel in the Chiss military, commanding Galactic Alliance forces and helping conquer Coruscant before being made a diplomatic liaison. He was also banging Jaina Solo. Lucky bastard.

At my age, Kol Skywalker had really badass sideburns. Or so I'm guessing.

At my age, Anakin Solo was dead.

 

I am 20, I think I just blew up the death star, and maybe went through the Star Wars Holiday special. Truly it was our darkest hour

 

I went from laughing to crying. Thanks a lot.

 

I'm 31. By the time I was 19 I was getting into revolutionary/anarchist politics and radical environmentalism and deep ecology stuff. Now, I didn't go blow up any Death Stars, but my politics and ethical concerns definitely had me going a very different direction than most folks my age. I was never a college party guy. The one semester I spent at college was focused more on going to hardcore punk shows and animal liberation/rights protests. I got deeper into my politics into my 20s, as well as religion, mysticism and martial arts.

Unlike Luke, I married at 20. Which has forced me to be more adult than Luke would have been even with his politics and Jedi questing.

That said, let's see...31, Luke must be scooting around the Eye of Palpatine with a broken leg and having fabulous mind sex with a disembodied lady Jedi living in a ship's computer... while avoiding Gammorreans and Tusken Raiders.

 

i think that when luke was my age it was during vecter prime.

 

Guess I'm still an innocent farm boy dreaming of joining the Academy. Looking forward to blowing up a Death Star in half a year.

 

I am just about to blow up Prince Xizors Palace and fight with a droid that looks like a real human female

 

Let's see.. I turn 19 today... So...
I just picked up a couple of droids with my Uncle Owen. I figure the rest of the week is going to be fairly uneventful

 

Just don't remove any restraining bolts...

 

lmao!

 

And steer clear of any wretched hives of scum and villainy!

 

At my age, I'm blasting up and down Beggar's Canyon trying to impress my friends and steal my acquaintance's (because let's face it, was Fixer really that good a friend?) girlfriend.

 

I'm honeymooning with Mara. Or I'd most certainly be bugging Cade.

 

She'd be better off with you. The guy IS a total tool. Of course, "Wormie" is an even worse nickname than "Farmboy," so you're probably better off waiting for a nice redhead; I know you think they're not your type, but . . . well, you'll see.

 

At my age, Luke Skywalker was having visions of Mara floating in a pool of water, looking dead.

 

You're a lot younger than I thought, Hav.

 

Like Hydro, looks like I fairly recently defeated Cronal. It won't be long before I offer Corran Horn a place in the fledgling new Jedi Order. Can't say I've accomplished that much in real life. Or am anywhere close.

 

As Luke, I've just joined the clone Emperor.

If I was Kenobi, I'd been looking at Zonama Sekot and thinking "weird".

As Triclops, I'm still locked up in the nuthouse.

 

I should be finding out who my father is in a few months.

 

At my age, Luke was on Dathomir, introducing gender equality, learning about the Chu'unthor, and playing matchmaker for Prince Isolder and Teneniel Djo.

BTW, does anyone think TCW will have Yoda and Mother Rell meet?

 

I doubt it. Not sure why this is spoiler-tagged, but... well, the whole Chu'unthor mess happened four centuries or so BBY.

I'm a few months short of nineteen, so at my age Luke was desperately awaiting his chance to go to the Academy next fall. To compare myself, I did the American equivalent of the Academy earlier this year, actually going to boot camp on my 18th birthday...
So, as far as that goes, I'm ahead of Luke by having already joined the military and working in my specified MOS. But in terms of destiny, I doubt I'll be getting a Droid soon, much less two.
I could always stop by the Verizon store, but those aren't the Droids I'm looking for. *Sigh*
