How Old Was Darth Vader When He Died

How old was Anakin when he became Darth Vader?

Born in 41 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), Anakin is only 22 when he becomes Darth Vader in 19 BBY and dooms himself to a life of pain and suffering. (He was 19 at the start of the Clone Wars, which kicked off in 22 BBY.) Thanks to Darth Sidious’ manipulations, the rest of Anakin’s life is basically stolen from him.

How old was Darth Vader in Rogue One?

However, we have no idea what 32-year-old Vader is like. While he acts the way we expect him to in Rogue One and A New Hope, it’s possible that Chow is hinting at something more radical. The differences between how people behave can vary greatly from decade to decade.
