So, I'm a huge Star Wars geek, and I've been meaning, for a while now, to make a semi-serious meta post about the various ways you can read Star Wars and its extended universe, either as a modern text or as a myth - how the expectations differ and how, for me, the two culminate in the glorious death of Ganner Rhysode.
However, all of that has taken back seat to this picture. It's the cover of "Sacrifice," the next-but-one novel release in the Legacy of the Force series of novels. This is Mara Jade Skywalker. All you need to know is, she's cooler than you. Also, she's 58. Yes folks, she is supposed to be fifty eight.

It wouldn't be so ridiculous if EVERYONE got this treatment. But no, other people, while not looking quite the right age, at least look like they could be placed within the adjacent decade. They have stuff like, say, grey hair. Or, you know, crow's feet.
