He's 5'8'', very important difference.

Mark Hamill own words
Mark Hamill was never 5.8 even in his youth. Even he didn't admit that as yourspaceboyfriend mentioned.
He was at max 5.7 but more probably a 5.65 .

Not to mention how tall was Yoda.  :D

That's too bad, I was so sure he was a good 5'8'' in his prme days and he still looked okay in the newest part.

Hello guys,
Got a reply from Dr Paley's site not too long ago, here is what they said about my age and questions:

"Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

It is possible to do an upper extremity lengthening. Many of our patients express initial concerns about their proportions, however, many remain happy after the lower extremity lengthening and most do not elect to undergo arm lengthening. I do not know off-hand what the cost of that would be, but I am happy to find out for you.

Yes, a combined femoral and tibial lengthening sounds like a good plan for your goals. We can perform the surgery at 17 years of age, but that will require parental consent since you will still be a minor.

Yes, the total cost for combined femoral and tibial lengthening separated by one year is $180,000. The scars are quite small, very minimal. And yes, easy to minimize with plastic surgery.

I am also attaching our FAQ on stature lengthening, though it sounds like you have already done quite a bit of research! If you have any other questions for me, please do not hesitate to ask. Also, if you would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Paley, please let me know.

Thank you!"

I'm looking at your pictures and for some reason it looks like you lengthened your forearms in the mockup, did you indeed do this? No doctor offers forearm lengthening. I think arm lengthening is unnecessary and should only be done if your arms are noticeably short. Then again, no one even notices arm length in real life unless they're really looking, then again it will still be hard to tell. Also, you have a long humerus to forearm, so if you lengthen your humerus (because no doctor will offer forearm lengthening) then it will look odd. Arm lengthening benefits those who have long forearms/short humerus ratio. Of course, no one will most likely notice anyway.
Yeah, I added two pictures; one with arm lengthening, the other one without arm lengthening just to see what the opinions were.

You cannot lengthen forearms, well you can but no doctor will do it. They will only lengthen the humerus (upper arm). So you would need to make a different picture adding length to the humerus instead of the forearm.
