Luke’s age was not actually explicitly stated in every movie, but we did manage to deduce how old he was in respective episodes thanks to the information from Revenge of the Sith. We now know that he entered A New Hope as a 19-year-old, being three years older in The Empire Strikes Back and then a year older in the Revenge of the Sith. That makes him a whopping fifty three in The Force Awakens – more than a decade younger than Mark Hamill right now. It’s not the first time that an actor is quite a lot older than his Star Wars character – we’ve already seen that with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Supposed to be 57 in A New Hope, he was actually impersonated by Alec Guinness six years his senior.
