Uuuuuuuuugh, that damn Boba Fett rumor. That one has always seemed particularly stupid. Von Sydow is decades too old.

Wasn't it established in The Clone Wars that clones eventually age faster as a side effect of the process that accelerates their growth into adults? There was even a clone who worked at the cloning facility that was prematurely aged.

Even though Boba was "unaltered", he could still have the aging issue.

I seem to remember a line that explicitly said Boba doesn't have growth acceleration when the Kaminoan guy is telling Obi-Wan about Jango. Could be wrong, though, and I'm really not up to popping in AOTC to find out right now.

side note, everyone in those movies is way too blasé about the growth acceleration thing. all those clones being sent into combat are like, ten years old or something, and there isn't even a whiff of the sense that this state of affairs is even ethicall shaky.
