"Obi-Wan was in his prime when he was Carrie's age...!"
I guess I haven't watched the changed versions of the original trilogy carefully enough. Did they really take out the line where he tells Luke "I'm getting too old for this"?
Jedi knights age slowly when they master the light side of the Force. Quite the opposite for the Dark Side, too.
Guinness was Carrie's age, but Ben was much, much older.
This is also how we know that the prequels are in a different universe. Ben is maybe 40 when Luke is born, then in A New Hope he's ancient for a human while Luke is 16. "Surely he must be dead by now / Never underestimate the power of the Force." Leia remembers her mother a bit, etc.
Memories of you remind me of you.
