    On earth a year is 365 days cause thats how long it takes for the earth to revolve around the sun. But im sure on tatooine and naboo its different. And seeing as anakin and padme were born on tatooine and naboo perhaps they age at the rate their home planets complete a year. or perhaps they age at the rate of the planet they are on??? what is everybody's thought??

    I don't think the aging process depends on the length of the year on the planet, or else humans would colonize those planets that had the longest year... Padmé was about 12 years older than Anakin throughout the PT, even if she didn't look it.

    Okay, I'm confused... Padme was only five years older than Anakin, not twelve. :confused:

    In the SW galaxy they have a certain time for 1 year, which remains constant throughout the galaxy. in PM Anakin is 9 and padme is supposed to be 14.

    This is correct, they have a univeral way of measuring time and date (probably based on Coruscant).
    Ofcourse each planet would also have their own system that they have always used.

    Bacon, sorry about that. I realized my mistake in another thread in this forum. I somehow managed to miss the 5-year age difference, and as Natalie Portman looks much older than 14 in TMP, I didn't think of it on my own. In fact, I still have trouble accepting it.
