y, yoda
v, darth vader
L, "Lucky skywalker"

Notice description is mostly in terms of v.
Yoda                  21v-24
Darth Vader            v
Lucky Sk...            v/2
SUM                   966

%2821v-24%29%2Bv%2Bv%2F2=966

21v-24%2Bv%2Bv%2F2=966
22v%2Bv%2F2=966%2B24
22v%2Bv%2F2=990
44v%2Bv=1980
45v=1980
v=990
v%2F2=highlight%28495%29-------------Lucky Skywalker

(You first mentioned Lucky; not Luke)

If Luke is actually Lucky, his age is NOWHERE close to 495 years, as the other person WRONGLY states!
