What is the right age for starting a training for Jedi?

In the original Star Wars trilogy, Luke was said to be too old for Jedi training. Similarly the Jedi council says Anakin to be too old for training in the prequel trilogy and we do see kids getting training for becoming Jedi in the prequel too. But what is the right age to start Jedi training, was this ever established?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

This is covered in the Star Wars factbook " The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force " The responsible use of power takes a lifetime to perfect, and therefore the Jedi Order only rarely accepts members who are older than a few years. Most of you came to the Temple as infants. It's notable that Ahsoka came to the Jedi temple at the age of three. This was considered to be slightly on the old side but not abnormally so.
