But what we did not know or assume was Anakin to be young and hardly 25.
Because, in case you MISSED it, Ben says:"I was once a Jedi KNIGHT, like
your father." At that point, the only Jedi master we knew that could exists
was Yoda. So if Kenobi was a Jedi Knight like Anakin and Ben is old and
then we saw the Vader was about the same age as Ben when he died, it only
stands to reason that Anakin should have been older when he was a Jedi.
