Everbody was soooo upset when Anankin killed the younglings but how about those clone troopers? Not a one of them over 10 years old!! Most of them less!! Is this growth acceleration bias? :eek:

So you suppose they went through some sort of growth deceleration? 30 years old for 30 years?


No I would say that once they reach a certain age say like 20 or something, they start aging normally.

Accelerated to maturity. Not an acceleration for a full life cycle.

This of course brings up several other questions:
Since their growth is accelerated that would mean the they would be about 60 by EP4 so the troopers we see in that movie are most likely not the same ones from EP3. And what makes a person an adult, experience or age?

They're growth accelerated and trained along with their skills implanted into their memories. Maybe by actual chronological age they are only 10, but physiologically and in every other manner they are adults and act as adults.

there just a bunch of jango fetts. I'd say they are just as mature as they would be if they really were really as old as they look.

Hey I was talking about the Troopers not the younglings. How do you feel about growth acceleration? Does this make a person an adult or is it the years of experience that leads to the age of an adult that makes them worthy of dying a horrible death in battle for a cause they don't understand?

That's children to me, and I stand by my point that it was an attempt to show that they don't use the same words as us. Of coure, Han does say "I'll see you in hell" so they really should be using the same words. That's just too logical though

Just what I was thinking though, Plo of course 3-5 year old don't deserve to die, but if they're bad actors, irritating, and in a poorly scripted film, then I aint gonna lose any sleep :)

And I'm sure they're older than 5

You DO know it's a film, and you shouldn't actually be emotionally touched by something as silly as a massacre? It's all in good humour. I was smiling all the way through.

Its just like people cheering when the ewok gets stepped on by the AT-ST. And why couldn't they just say children? Younglings just sounds so dumb and like an attempt to not have to say children to demonstrate that they don't use the same words as we do.
