In only 2 years, Hayden Christensen will be the same age as Darth Vader in A New Hope. Meta

Hayden Christensen was born in 1981, so he's 39 now. Anakin Skywalker was born in 41 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin, a.k.a. A New Hope). I just thought that's crazy.

When we last met I was the learner but now I'm the master

I had the same concern, but the other day I was reminded that the line is actually "When I left you," which doesn't necessarily imply their last meeting, just when they stopped being on the same team.
