Considering age, Anakin should’ve been closer to Obi Wan’s age…Of course I thought they made a mistake casting the 70+ Sebastian Shaw as Vader. If the prequels are canon, Vader shouldn’t been older than 50 in ROTJ. According to the dreaded Wookieepedia, ROTJ is 23 years after ROTS. Anakin would’ve technically been 45 in ROTJ. Maybe if Anakin had been older in the prequels…I could ignore that, but I still don’t really buy Sebastian Shaw being under that mask. It’s a minor nitpick though. I feel Obi Wan and Anakin’s relationship would’ve been better if Anakin would’ve been closer to Obi Wan’s age in Episode 1. Probably the age difference between Han and Luke. Han was old enough to call Luke “Kid” but close enough in age to have been buddies.

I’m not making much of a point. Just bitching to the wind.
