60 isn't all that old in the Star Wars universe. More like middle-aged.
Where's the evidence for this? I'm just curious. Again, the only old folks we see doing amazing physical feats are force sensitives or augmented bionic people (or aliens with super long lifespans).
Therein lies your answer. We know that he had bionic knees by I think 10 years after ROTJ but don't quote me on that.

IIRC we don't actually *see* Boba kick any Vong arse personally, we just see Boba before the fight, some Mandalorian Commandos during it and Slave 1 is later seen leaving the area.

Ha! It's a conspiracy I tell you. So these wankified authors can't think of an honest way to show this crap, so they just use a convention straight out of Looney-Tunes... a big ball of smoke appears with stars flying out of it and random limbs swinging around.. complete with punching and "ow!" sound effects. Then the "smoke clears" and "our hero" emerges victorious!

What a cop-out!

Great idea. Geriatric cyborgs! So people can continue to do acrobatic flips and martial arts fight like pros well into their 100's, thanks to the cheapness and availability of Grevious/Vader technology. ;)

Whats so difficult to believe about that? This technology is quite different from GG or DV, they had full body replacements. In this case (and with Luke, and Anakin) the suspect limb was replaced artifically, and the robotic arm (or knee) will most likely hold up better than an organic one.
