What was Han doing back then that he doesn't seem to remember any of that portion of galactic history? Tripped out on some sort of exotic space-spice, or something, probably.

600 strips. Whew.


Yeah, okay. According to the "canonical" book A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Han Solo is 29 years old at the time he met Luke and Obi-Wan, and the Clone Wars occurred six years before he was born.

This is clearly a timeline that was created before Lucas started writing the prequels. It also had C-3PO being activated 112 years before A New Hope. Since we now know Anakin built C-3PO, that backdates him to being a bit over 80 when the Clone Wars ended and almost 100 when he fathered Luke and Leia (with the 110+ year old Amidala). Apparently high midichlorian count is the key to youthful appearance and sexual vigour.

Thanks to the many, many, many readers who pointed out the apparent inconsistency in my comic, and Steven Erhbar who was the only one brave enough to point out the screaming inconsistencies in the canonical timeline.
