In case you wanted to have some relative character ages to make age differences in your fics canon-compliant:

General Hux was born up to 4 years before the Battle of Endor, sometime after the Battle of Yavin (”during the last days of the Galactic Empire”)

Poe Dameron was born 2 years before the Battle of Endor

Kylo Ren was born up to 1 year after the Battle of Endor

Finn was born 7 years after the Battle of Endor

Rey was born 11 years after the Battle of Endor

SWTFA takes place 30 years after the Battle of Endor.

Hux is between 34 and 30, Poe is 32, Ren is 29, Finn is 23, and Rey is 19.

Thanks for this, anon! I was going by their actors' ages all this time

That's super helpful. Thanks, nonnie!

I believe when Hux is introduced in the script, there is an aside describing him which reads "(34, scary)".

[(Anonymous)]

That's amazing

[(Anonymous)]

As a 34yo, I can confirm it is extremely scary.

I'm just so glad my math was good! Seriously, I pulled this together on a post-it at work one day while fuming over everyone was writing their age difference like Kylo was 19 and Hux was 40.

This is really helpful, thank you!

thanks for this! just realized that Rey was abandoned around the same time Kylo was killing jedis!

nayrt

Between that an her dream sequence, I am assuming she's a padawan that was taken off planet and not killed in the massacre. How old would Kylo have been at the massacre though, if Rey was about 3 or 4?

sa

Sorry, youngling, not padawan.

She's also the perfect age to have been born around the time Kylo left for jedi training camp. And you know how parents often have more personal time once the first kid is out of the house more often...

I think she's another Organa-Solo.

Just because I spent an hour looking for this thread, I'm putting in a subject so it's easier to find.
