In Scientific Method, the baddies turned Chuckles into an old bald man.
(Pick one of the options below)
1. In the end the Doctor reversed the (ageing) damage, and zero sum Chakotay walked out of this adventure unscathed.
2. In the end the Doctor covered up the superficial changes, but could not reverse the (ageing) damage, so underneath all the good looking fortiness veneer he exhibited, Chakotay was still a decrepit centenarian for the rest of the series onward.
3. In the end the Doctor not only reversed the (ageing) damage, but went further and let Chakotay be 5 years younger, giving the terrorist a better more healthy lease on life, because he is young again.

Or perhaps she doesn't age at all, and at age 200 , she still looks exactly the same as she does now.
Then, suddenly, for some reason the nanoprobes give out / can't stop the ageing process anymore, and we see her age about 10 years per second. In 15 seconds, nothing but mummified remains are left.
At least, that would make for a nice sequence in some "horror" themed episode

That's true?
Tatooine wasn't inside the Old Republic, but baby Luke might have gotten Tatooinnian citizenship "somehow" or may have inherited legal rights from his father and grandmother... Who were slaves and therefore did not have automatic citizenship (as freeman) on Tatooine under Hutt law.
Grammy was freed by her beau, but that wouldn't retroactively cover a grandchild that she never met?
Although, was he a dreamer, or was he a plain Illegal?
Of course, at some point the Empire assumed control of Tatooine and everyone there became an Imperial Citizen... Even though Luke's paperwork was fraudulent, so his new citizenship base on that fake paperwork would have been bullshit, which is another reason why they didn't let him join the army.

Would Luke's actual birthplace make him a citizen of the Old Republic?? I'm hopeless here though I guess everyone would have been taken over by the Galactic Empire.
He was a simple lad destined for adventure, a sister Princess, a dodgy Dad, and a mysterious force. You can't really dream that stuff.

Did you notice the Stormtroopers acting like police men?
The Hutt no longer owned Tatooine.
Refuge, if the Droid that midwifed the twins autofiled paperwork, it was instantly erased by a worm intent on hiding those magic kids from the Sith and the Empire.
Luke and Leia did not exist legally.
Jimmy Smitts, Leia's new dad, as a senator, had the money and power to give his daughter the best fake ID, but again her birth certificate did not say that her parents were Anikan and Padme.
Luke thought that he was an imperial citizen.
How big was Uncle Owen's farm?
Maybe he was rich as well, and Luke might have been papered after all with counterfeit citizenship.

Made me think of "He chose......poorly"
Owen was Luke's legal guardian. And Luke wasn't an imperial citizen, just a free man on Tatooine, enjoying the privilege of being human.
Leia's adoption wasn't known. Jimmy Smitts told all his friends that he sired her.
Which would require both fathers lying to the government to get paper work for their children. Lies that would only work if they found some one shady and unscrupulous willing to be paid to believe those awkward lies.
In Phantom Menace, yes Tatoinne was under the Hutt, but 30 years later in new Hope there was a noticeable Stormtrooper presence who acted like they were inside Imperial space with Jurisdiction.

How could he enroll at the Academy if he wasn't an Imperial Citizen?
When I wrote that, I actually was thinking of this scene:
.. but the one you refer to is much more famous of course
Suffice it to say, this is a well-known trope. Never heard of that skeksis one before though, I should definitely check it out one of these days.

How do you know it was an imperial academy?
Daddy issues.
Dark Crystal's a pretty crazy movie. I believe Cheryl. (Gates) McFadden worked on the film as a choreographer for Hensen's muppets..When I wrote that, I actually was thinking of this scene:
