You know, “Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader at 23,” just sounded like a canon fact when you were younger because he was married and a Knight and all

But then you reach your early twenties and you’re suddenly like HOLD UP HE WAS PRACTICALLY A KID

And then “Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader at 23,” suddenly. Just. Becomes a whole lot worse.

“Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader when he was two years younger than Obi-Wan was when he was knighted.”

“Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader at the same age Luke was in ROTJ.”

Darth Vader wasn’t always the same menacing presence we see in Rogue One. He was forced into the equivalent of a living prison when he was barely past his majority and fed on a steady stream of lies for the next twenty-three years – the latter half of his lifetime.

WAIT HE WAS ONLY 23?? D: NOOOOOOOOO.
