Isn’t Forrest Whittaker... old? Wasn’t Saw a teenager in TCW? I’m only just now realizing that Saw should look more like late thirties instead of early fifties. Unless I’m bad at math or there’s an explanation

Good point, but yeah, pretty sure they aged Saw up like hell.

TCW takes place 22-19 BBY, so if Saw was a teenager during TCW he’d have been born something like 40-36 BBY. Rogue One takes place 0 BBY, so yeah, Saw would have been in early middle age at best, while Forrest was 55 at the time RO came out--and like op said, looked even older as Saw. I mean maybe it was to make him a plausible father figure to Jyn, but I didn’t see Mads get aged up so he could be Jyn’s dad.
