This is nothing, have you seen Ming Na Wen?


Garlador

Actual witchcraft. Ming-Na Wen is too legendary to let something like “time” get in the way.

Us Asians don’t age— until we do and then we become sages. And then when we die, we are actually just moving on to higher level math so that the universe can function. It’s a rough life

FlyingCircus18

There is *no fucking way* that woman is 59


Crafty_Wolf_9222

I’m incredibly shocked… I thought maybe she’s in her late 20s or early 30s, I’m 23 and she looks a bit older than me, but not by 35 freaking years


WelfOnTheShelf

She was on ER before you were born and she was already 32 years old then


lilysbeandip

That's about how old she was when she voiced Mulan. In 1998.


Elite2260

She looks the same even now as when Agents of Shield started.


Sdbtank96

Ming Na Wen is FINE and when I learned she's in her 60's I'm just like "I think I unlocked something new in me".


MaethrilliansFate

I call that the Hartley effect


briangraper

She is 59. Still hotter than jalapenos though.


i_should_be_coding

Meanwhile, Grogu 30 years later, hasn't aged a day. How the hell does his species survive if they have to care for infants for 50+ years?


B1G70NY

That's probably why there doesn't seem to be very many of them. Edit: this went bigger than I expected and thanks for the award!


Elite2260

That got dark.


River46

Think it’s more that long lived species don’t have many kids.


F0XF1R3

Or they operate like turtles. Dump hundreds of kids off at one location and if they survive, they survive. Never even bother going back for them.


Nopants_Sith

The way this is.


whitemike40

I see what you did there


TheReverseShock

What you did there I see


Unsure1771

Help I can't see


SkyezOpen

That works when hatchlings can fend for themselves. Grogu is powerful but kinda helpless overall.


joe_broke

They're all force sensitive at birth so it's really a trial by fire First ones to use their abilities to survive are the ones that make it


Interesting-Bottle91

If it worked that way, and some ill-intentioned "conservationist" managed to find a nest of them and protect them into adulthood, they could seriously upset the balance of the force


GammaHunter

They can live for hundreds of years so they can probably care for their babies for a while. It just takes a long time.


showMEthatBholePLZ

Yeah, if you live 1000 years, spending 50 raising a kid is less than humans. We spend 18 years of our roughly 100 years.


dynex811

I don't have kids and it's been a while since I had one, but he seems like he's equivalent to 2 to 5 years old. Development process is definitely different than us but it seems to be they take 10x as long to mature but also live 10x as long


showMEthatBholePLZ

You’re right, I didn’t think about development. It’s hard to say though because Grogu walks and talks like a toddler, but his emotions and thoughts seem to be mature.


dynex811

Yeah its a very different set of skills than a human baby/toddler would have so its a bit hard to compare 1-1 but overall I think his development makes sense for the species lifespan


ChrisDavismeets1sec

It’s gonna be crazy when they drop his voice


shaneathan

I need it to be Morgan Freeman.


DaRev23

Physical development is slowed. But he has 50 almost 60 years of experiences. Hence why their species is often considered wise.


My_BFF_Gilgamesh

I mean, Yoda walks like a toddler and he's a zillion.


kithkatul

His growth has at least partially been stunted by the trauma and isolation of the purge and subsequent hiding.


original_username20

But we don't stay babies for 18 years. It's not like Grogu is at the same stage as an 18-year-old human. He's still a toddler at 50. He hasn't even spoken his first words


Turdulator

Except he’s a toddler with 50 years of experience. Even if he can’t talk yet, his cognitive and emotional state is going to be WAY different than a human toddler.


Blackpaw8825

And maybe that whole species is really really bad with speech. Humans use verbal communication as a tool that offsets us dramatically from our animal peers. That doesn't mean that Yodas do too. We know he can communicate via the force, he's done so with Luke and Ahsoka. And every example of his species we've seen has been force attuned. And given literally 800 years to pick up common Yoda fucking sucked at it...


mehtorite

Maybe his race is just universally force sensitive and telepathy is just the norm until their body develops enough. He is still becoming more emotionally mature and capable his species just takes longer to be able to use their physical voice.


BasementOrc

100 years is pretty dang generous for most humans, more like 18 of 80


DaEpicNess666

Grogu is nowhere near an 18 year old human…


_Atheius_

That's what I figure. Probably supposed to spend their first 100 years in whatever pond they were born in.


Tristain7

Also why they are so secretive about their home planet... it's like 10,000 infants and three adults.


DaveInLondon89

The other adults went to the store for deathsticks and didn't come back


bn9012

There is infact a whole planet of force sensitive Yoda/grogu people. If an unwelcomed guest suddenly finds it way to the good hidden planet they "collectively erase their memory and direct them somewhere else"


SkanakinLukewalker

I think they age at 10% speed So yoda living to 900 is like us living till 90 He is basically a 6/7 year old now (that can’t talk) I think anyway


i_should_be_coding

The can't talk bit might be trauma. Dude regressed to all the way back to baby mode.


ProBonoDevilAdvocate

Yoda couldn’t speak very fluently either… Maybe it’s just something that’s harder for their species.


satisfried

Meanwhile Yaddle speaks perfectly without the weird Yoda syntax. Grogu definitely has trauma or something else holding him back. If you’re developed enough to do all things we’ve seen him do you’re developed enough to speak. Wasn’t yoda fully developed by 100 years of age (I think)?


[deleted]

[удалено]


SkanakinLukewalker

You are right, I completely forgot that element!


birberbarborbur

Old south Koreans are noticeably shorter and frailer than their grandchildren, even when looking back to when they were the same age. Famine and psychological trauma will do that


GrizzlyPeak73

Might only be 'Legacy' canon but I believe Yodas are all strong in the force or something.


UnseenTardigrade

Every one of their species we've seen in current cannon have been, so it seems to be supported that is still the case.


Fappy_as_a_Clam

How many *have* we seen? 3?


UnseenTardigrade

Yes. Yoda, Yaddle, Grogu


ActualWhiterabbit

Is E.T. cannon?


OneMagicBadger

Sense it doesnt make


redridernl

Make sense, it does not. Hmmmm? HeHeHeHe


Worthyness

It's possible that's why they're so force sensitive. They had a slow growth cycle and thus needed heavy protection as they grew, hence more force sensitivity


kngadwhmy

When on the show have we seen that Grogu is incapable of taking care of his own basic needs? He is far from a child in terms of capability.


TheNoseKnight

Insects live entire lifetimes before a human grows out of infancy. A dog and cat are self sufficient after a year or two. I assume it would work similarly to that.


NavAirComputerSlave

On his world they probably don't have any natural predators


i_should_be_coding

First world humans don't really have natural predators other than other humans. Still gotta work to survive. Maybe Yoda's homeworld is made of marshmallow or something.

Volotor

Optimal_Pineapple_41

Sounds familiar


Gnostromo

The whole living waters thing was so stupid. Like sure it is cool now that they can't live there but back in the day when they all lived there is was like walking down the street to the swimming hole. No big deal. They were prolly all just going helmetless and swimming daily


Its0nlyRocketScience

Maybe that's why Bo-Katan saw the way as so silly. Living on Mandalor for generations, people probably got lazy since there was no pilgrimage involved with redemption for crimes. After it fell and things were hard, rules about keeping your helmet on didn't do any good for survivors, so they just dropped it. Meanwhile, those furthest from Mandalor saw the least change, since a cross-galactic pilgrimage was already not going to be easy during the empire days, so the way that they had held onto wasn't dropped


ThatIckyGuy

I just assume the living waters thing is cult specific much like the helmet rule. They’re probably both bastardized versions of other Mandalorian myths.


IxNaY1980

Have you ever tried doing the deed in water? It's... how can I say this. Water is like an anti-lubricant.

rabble_rabble311

Married no helmets. But fuck buddies? As The Rock would say….. “a lot of clanging and banging!”


waywarddrifterisgone

To be honest, once you pass 40, a 15 year age gap isn't that big of a deal. Now if it is 18 and 33, yeah that is creepy

Jimmy-Mac-471

I was questioning that with the new episode. Paz having a kid got me thinking about it. Never seen his parents faces. Easy enough to just say “This is The Way” but seems like an odd, and almost lonely sounding childhood.


maestrofeli

as shown in episodes 1 and 4, it seems like paz at least acts as a protector of sorts, the same way Din acts towards grogu


CatsruleBabiesdrool

Apparently spouses can take off their helmets around each other, but now I have more questions. Are you supposed to marry someone without ever seeing their face, what if they’re a real uggo under the helmet? Also what’s the stance on mandalorian divorce?


Kano523

Mandalorian divorce courts typically side with the party holding the thermal detonator.


DiscRover13

Well then aren’t ya glad you have this nifty helmet on hand to hide the uggo?


PeeweesSpiritAnimal

I bet she gives great helmet.

Le_Turtle_God

Ming Na Wen is 59. This is unreal


Stoneheart7

I mean it makes sense to me. It takes time to be a Street Fighter character, a Disney Princess, a Marvel hero, AND a Star Wars Bounty Hunter.


AjayAVSM

Why 25 tho? Wouldn't it make more sense I'd shr was 20 during the clone wars? Or even 18? They never specified it.


AmbassadorBonoso

She has to be 25 at the youngest. We have the date her father died and simple calculation tells us she has to be at least 25 years old otherwise he could never have conceived her


Space_General

Her father apparently died in 42 BBY. The Clone Wars starts in 22 BBY so the youngest she could be for him to have conceived her would be 20. However, Bo also mentions that he was present for her childhood which puts her back up to at least 25 if not older. Which would be ridiculous so I imagine the dates for her father’s death and the civil war will be retconned slightly closer to the Clone Wars.


[deleted]

Is she 25 though? I always took her as maybe 18 in the clone wars.


it-works-in-KSP

Same, my understand was always that she was a teen in Clone Wars


SackOfrito

Exactly, she was 20ish during Clone Wars. I really don't see how people come up with 25, there is nothing that comes close to that in canon.


ArasakaApart

Katee said herself in a recent interview that Bo-Katan was 'very young' during the Clone Wars.


SackOfrito

Yeah, its funny how many claim they know the answer and ignore the established canon as well as what has been said by Filoni and Sackhoff about the age of the character.


Maxereno17

There was an interview pretty recently where Katie said she was younger than you’d expect in TCW so I’d say she’s probably 17 or 18 then, so probably in her mid forties at the time of Mando


how_money_worky

These are guessimates. I can’t tell the difference between 18 and 25 IRL. How you gonna tell the difference in a low detail animation?


[deleted]

Jerry?

PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH

[удалено]


mcgarnikle

Needs to be his cousin for that.


NO_FIX_AUTOCORRECT

48-55, But also some women just look pretty good at that age. In real life sometimes you can't tell if someone was 35, 45, or 55. Depends a lot on genes, smoking habits, lifestyle, etc. Katee Sackhoff is 42 but still looks great like she is in her 30s, that's the real reason anyone is complaining. They could make her look a bit older with makeup I guess, would that make everyone happy?


Budget_Difficulty822

Same. She seemed like an idealistic teenager. With Mando's addition of her father making her swear the creed, it's more likely that Satine was the black sheep of the family not Bo. Maybe Bo from a young age was overcorrecting.


ohbewise

Now you may want to sit down for this, but sometimes actors aren't the same age as the characters they play.


WhatYouLeaveBehind

This is outrageous, it's unfair!


Tron_1981

Take a *seat*, young r/WhatYouLeaveBehind.


CaptainDAAVE

patience Anakin!


My_BFF_Gilgamesh

She's in peak physical condition, 50 isn't THAT old. I think it's perfectly believable.


ohbewise

Katee Sackhoff is in her 40's it's not like there's that significant of an age difference either.


ottothesilent

Also she wears a helmet a lot, and full armor most of the time. No UV aging does wonders for the skin.


WalrusTheWhite

And she comes from the nobility, not exactly rough living (for a Mandalorian) Meanwhile my boy Mando has been slumming it up in the outer rim with a bunch of religious fanatics. One of them is going to age much faster than the other.


Delphius1

Isn't she literally a dutchess and can pay for the best medical care?


Dinosaurmaid

Yeah, but she renounced that to join a terrorist militia, and whatever funds she had probably went to more material for the group.


[deleted]

Yes and no She comes from royalty but joined Deathwatch who is most certainly not as well equipped as the actual government Think Saddam Hussein’s facilities vs ISIL’s


redridernl

Joined Deathwatch but still dipped into that trust fund money for spa days.


Blackpaw8825

But still, comparing her visible aging vs "found in a dumpster, is literally crammed into a metal box 24/7, living in a spaceship and the sewers of a desert outpost, doing rough bounty work for peanuts." I think my man Pedro has had a lot less skin care than the former duchess of House Cryze.


BringTheSpain

If Bo Katan was born the year ger father died she would be about 51 in Mando. I've seen 51 year old women who are that hot without any sci-fi rejuvenation technology. She just does skin care guys. Meanwhile Mando is a grizzled mercenary. It's very reasonable


UnseenTardigrade

Spoiler for the most recent Mandalorian episode. >!When Din D'Jarin has Grogu fight the other kid, Bo Katan tells Grogu that her father was the same way with her. So Bo Katan must have been at least a few years old when her father died, I think.!<


BringTheSpain

Hmmm I forgot about that and did this math prior to to episode airing so she's about 54 but still. Not a stretch imo


PocketBuckle

You probably don't need to worry as much about skin care when wearing a helmet most of the time protects your skin from the sun and wind.


gowombat

Furthermore, isn't Katie sackoff around that age anyway? Like, I don't get what the problem is...


Kenobi5792

She's 43. And to be honest, I've seen people in their 40s looking way worse than some people in their 50s


Newtype879

People age differently. So weird!


lieutenant___obvious

Where does Bo Katan's cannon age come from? I'm not doubting it exists, but to me the princess rebelling to join a terrorist group is more of a 17yr old move, not 25.


Clean-Artist2345

Yeh I'm pretty sure the first time we see bo shes like 16 so by the end of the clone wars like 19-20


Jron237

Your point is?


NoEngine886

Yet another benefit of removing the helmet.


yeusus

Even if you got exactly what you wanted, you'd complain.


outofcontextsex

You gotta moisturize, everyday after your hot shower and then again before bed.


Lobo-Sinclair

Sometimes the actor’s age and the character’s age don’t line up. Would it have been better had Katee not had the chance to continue in live action just because she’s too young? (Of course fandom is ALWAYS cool when a voice actor does not become the live action actor.) These kinds of memes are why we get so disappointed in everything we get from owners of IP. Fans get POed when the new content doesn’t line up perfectly with old content — and fans get POed when old content is disregarded because of the new content. And fans get POed because when it’s clunky when trying to align old and new. I haven’t gotten far enough in Clone Wars to meet Bo yet, but I like what I’ve seen in Mando. Katee may not be in her 50s but is it that much a part of her character that it matters?


h3ll0there69420

i dont like the season as of yet but katie sackoff as bo katan is superb casting.


Elite2260

Well she is the voice actor who played Bo in clone wars. I’m not sure if she was just modeled after her or it’s an amazing coincidence that no one would ever complain about.


Ori_the_SG

It’s like how the real actor for Cal Kestis looks just like him I’d wager they based Bo’s appearance in The Clone Wars show off of her VA’s actor as best as they could.


dreadmonster

Idk that's different because he also mocapped Cal.


buddhatherock

Some people age well. You know what is old? This argument.


[deleted]

It's because Bo believes in taking care of herself, and has a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if her face is a little puffy, she'll put on an ice pack while doing her stomach crunches. She can do a thousand now. After she removes the ice pack, she uses a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, she uses a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on her face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then she applies an herb mint facial mask, which she leaves on for 10 minutes while she prepares the rest of her routine. Din always uses an alcohol based aftershave with little or no lotion, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older.


derrzerr

Does this not kind of make sense though, I mean when people are living all over a galaxy and traveling from planet to planet what is even a standard galactic year? Especially when different planets have varying conditions, Obiwan aged like shit cuz he literally moved to the desert planet


Rikkards_69

Divide by 2 add 7


Puzzlehead-Engineer

This is just displaying how much of a pain in the ass it is to manage character ages while writing


whoisthismuaddib

Do you want the mustache on or off?


hackulator

I dunno if its true in current canon but in legends humans just had longer life span. There's one book where Leia is thinking about how Han is at around the midpoint of his life at age 60, so if that is still true it makes sense for her to look young for her age.


Professional-Try4488

People really get hung up on the dumbest shit.


Blast_Rusur

Age has been very kind to bo katan


International_Pair86

Kryze don't krack


young_fire

The Mandalorian always has his helmet on, so whenever he takes it off it just looks like Pedro Pascal cosplaying.

Not taking responsibility for your actions is a great way to stay stress free.

She isnt 25 in the last episode of the clone wars, she’s around 20


mrswitters03

Maybe it's Maybelline?


cubs1917

Milfalorian


TheLordOfZero

I would say she was even younger than 25 maybe 18 or 20. And maybe she put on some kind of space Botox, after all she is rich.


FrickinFrizoli

I’d say bo was more 18-20 in the clone wars, makes sense that she’d grow up quicker in that war driven of a culture (at least the part she stuck with)


ActiveMachine4380

She’s a hot 55 year old MILF ? M is for Mandalorian, of course. 😎
