• I forgot Baby Yoda is technically 50 years old. Also, this traffic report title gave me Hamilton vibes (Who lives? Who dies? Who tells your story?) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:31, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

• According to childwelfare.gov, "Approximately 29 States and the District of Columbia allow the adoption of any person, regardless of age." So there would really be nothing out of the ordinary for Mando to adopt a 50 year old, under U.S. law. Whether we characterize that as a "child" may be up to interpretation for that individual's life expectancy. I'd say the TOP25 writers get some leeway on this. As for the TR title, I may have picked that up subliminally, but it wasn't a conscious reference to Hamilton. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:53, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

  Interesting, and that is a fair point as Baby Yoda is a child for their species (which I don't believe we actually know the name of which is interesting), although for a human he would be middle-aged. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:40, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

  Anybody know how long is the applicable year? Jim.henderson (talk) 15:31, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

  Wookiepedia says they reach maturity by their 100th year. But also that they remain in infancy for at least 50. It also worth considering that the life stages may not be in the same proportion as for humans. SSSB (talk) 16:04, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

  Yes, humans spend a larger fraction of our lives in childhood, than most vertebrates do. But, how long a year? How long a day? Different worlds spin differently. Even the planets of our little solar system have great diversity. Jim.henderson (talk) 01:36, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

  Geez this got really complicated for one simple comment. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 12:46, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

• @Jim.henderson: The Star Wars galaxy has a standardized calendar with years the same as Earth's. igordebraga ≠ 16:11, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
