41 BBY Anakin born. (22 at birth of the Empire, 41 in A new hope.)
31 BBY Lando born.
29 BBY Han born. (Hes 10 on Corellia when Palp is made Emperor)

22 BBY Military Creation Act in episode 1. 22-19 BBY is "The Clone Wars"
19 BBY Emperor. Luke/Leia born.

5 BBY Starwars Rebels.
0 BBY a new hope.
4 ABY battle of Endor.

(BBY is before the battle of Yavin, aka Death star #1)

So, clones were aged to like 20-30 to fight. and then A New Hope is 22 years later. so they would be 42-52 years old at that point, with normal aging.

I've never been able to read 'BBY' without thinking "Big Beautiful... Yoda?" or something. Can someone photoshop a morbidly obese hambeast Yoda? That'd really make my year.

Qui-Gon had nothing but contempt for lesser beings. He mind controlled them, berated them, even tried leaving them for dead at times.

Pretty sure he considering whoring out Queen Amidala on Naboo.

Are you confusing Phantom Menace with Darth & Droids again?

I am the only one who thinks the prequels are not bad if you fast forward every time Anikan & Amidala are talking or if Jar Jar is on screen?

The Clone Wars were mentioned of course, but the clones themselves were never explained beyond that. There was nothing describing them as the predecessors of the stormtroopers.

Rebels takes place immediately before A New Hope and what, 10 years after episode 3? Whatever it is, by that time the clones were old men. Not sure if that is a continuity fuck up or they just age fast. They talk about the clone wars as if it was 20 years previous or more. And all of the Stormtroopers are non-clones by this point.

Clones age at twice the rate of a human. So in 10 years, they were 20 year olds ready to fight. In 20 years, they were 40 year olds ready to retire. They would have been 30 real years old at the beginning of ANH, which is 60 in clone years. I'm not sure on when rebels happens, but if caliane is right, they'd be 25 real years or 50 in clone years.

Ok so if it's common knowledge/canon that there are no more clones then who gives a fuck that a storm trooper is black?

like seriously I thought that that was the point of contention?

You might be confusing the people complaining about them casting a black dude to play boba fett in the stand alone fett movie, who should still be that same dude who played jango, or at least someone who looks an awful lot like him.

Quite a few pages back I said something similar regarding the Clone Wars and Clones. Lucas used the term Clone Wars because it sounded cool (and I'm guessing to copy Eugenics war from Star Trek TOS).

Fast forward to prequel land and in order to make them "rhyme" and have "symmetry" to the original trilogy, he used clones.

This is just guesswork, but based off the evidence, I'd say I'm right.

The clone groundwork was laid with the Zahn trilogy of books. Thrawn had cloning cylinders, clone troopers, a cloned jedi and even cloned himself. So Lucas had it kinda figured out prior to 91.

Yea and for folks who think that was Zahn google around. The Sith editing Lucas did drastically fucked Zahns entire storyline from what I recall. I always got the impression it was Lucas story and Zahn was just allowed to write it.

If you mean the idea for the clones, no, I wasn't trying to say it was Zahn's idea. Lucas was heavily involved with the EU, especially in the beginning. That's why the canon held together so well for so long. IIRC, Zahn was the only one Lucas would allow to write anything about the time period just before ANH, and even then it was just minor things like the existence of clones and cloning canisters. Lucas always considered it to be his story to tell and he didn't want to have to navigate a minefield when he got around to telling it.
