Who is the oldest character to be found among the many heroes and antagonists that populate famous pop culture franchises? Who, Yoda or Jabba, lights the most candles each year in a Star Wars galaxy far, far away?
Was Gollum born before or after Arwen in The Lord of the Rings? Is Spock from Star Trek older or younger than Wolverine in Logan?
From Indiana Jones to Darth Vader via Daenerys Targaryen, Emmett Brown and Aragorn, each time we tried to choose the most emblematic period of their journey, we tried to compare the ages of important figures of pop culture.
And if some of them have not yet reached their twenties, others have already lived several millennia. From Game of Thrones to Harry Potter, Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings, find out who is the youngest and oldest of your favorite characters.
Daenerys Targaryen
A little young to marry the leader of the Dothraki clan, isn’t it? And yet, when the first season Game of ThronesDaenerys is indeed 16 years old. Also note that in George AR Martin’s original books he is only 13 years old…
Jon Snow

Jon Snow may be Daenerys’ nephew, but he’s a year older than her. Aged 17 at the start of the series (and 14 in the books), the future Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch still has a terrible winter ahead of him.
Indiana Jones

Born in 1899, the famous adventurer is 36 years old in Temple of Doom, 37 years old in Creed of the Lost Ark, 39 years old in The Last Crusade, 58 years old in The Crystal Skull, and therefore 70 years old. Old in The Dial of Destiny.
Dark Vador

The Sith Lord was only 46 when he died in his son’s arms at the end of Return of the Jedi. Without seeming bored, he still does a little more.
death flight

71 years old and all teeth, missing nose! By the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the dark wizard had already lived well.
Doc Brown

He’s Voldemort’s age! Except that Dr. Emmett Brown celebrated his 71st birthday in the first part of the Back to the Future trilogy in 1985.
Aragorn

Yes, we age pretty well in Middle-earth. When he accompanies Frodo on his quest to destroy the One Ring, the Heir of Gondor is approaching 90 years old. A respectable age that will undoubtedly allow him to rule with wisdom and insight.
Dumbledore

When he dies at the hands of Snape in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the headmaster of Hogwarts is 115 years old. Its perennial magic may be the secret to its longevity.
Spock

Born in 2230, Spock is 28 years old and 157 years old A grave road By JJ Abrams. Indeed, in 2387, at the twilight of his life, Vulcan traveled back in time through a black hole, allowing him to come face to face with himself.
Chewbacca

Set almost two centuries ago in Solo: A Star Wars Story (knowing that the original trilogy takes place a dozen years later), Chewbacca is an old man. In any case, much older than his friend Han, who is only his co-pilot and traveling companion. Honestly, he should be the one laying down the law in the corridors of the Millennium Falcon…
Wolverine

9 feature films and almost two centuries of being impaled, butchered, carved or dismembered. In 2017, when he returned to theaters for a moving solo adventure, our friend Logan He reached a very respectable age… 192 years old. But how old will he be in Deadpool & Wolverine in July?
Connor McLeod

Like other immortals, the Highlander hero will continue to accumulate birthday candles until they are cut down. But even at the age of 467, Conor McLeod must not forget that in the end, “there may only be one left”.
Gollum

As Bilbo experiences in turn a few years later, the hobbit, formerly known as Sméagol, derives his lifespan from a single ring acquired under very dire circumstances. An existence as long and empty as a bottomless well.
Jabba

Nearly 6 centuries of being stuck in his palace on Tatooine… it’s no wonder Jabba the Hutt has become the most despicable scumbag in the galaxy.
Yoda

“When you’re 900 like me, you’re less fit.” In the 9th century, the venerable master must have seen wars, republics and empires. He is barely twenty years old Return of the JediLuke Skywalker has a keen interest in remembering the lessons of his ancestors.
Arven

Before you claim that he is particularly well preserved, remember that he is an elf and therefore cannot die of old age. On the other hand, let me remind you, we are still talking about the age difference of 2700 years with Aragorn…
Imhotep

Exactly 3215 years. Most of which he spent locked in a sarcophagus with flesh-eating beetles. And we wonder if the mummy is a little pissed off when it sees the light of day…
