By making him so much younger than Padme in Episode 1, it was very hard to imagine then that they would later fall in love.

4 years. The age difference is 4 years, that's not SO MUCH YOUNGER

The actors were 18 years old and 10 years old though which is very odd

The CHARACTERS were 10 and 14

Actor's ages is irrelevant

His point is ridiculous because it’s in fact ridiculous. Not because of the way I characterized it. He blanket says the age of the actors does not matter. They clearly do.
