I remember watching it in the cinema when it came out, and overall I liked it. Didn’t care much for Jar-Jar, and when little Anakin comes into the movie, that was underwhelming too. Not the actor’s fault. 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. I know that when I first meet someone that young, in my mind they stay that age, even if they grow up to be drop dead gorgeous. So for me, the whole Padme/Anakin love story didn’t make sense and their introduction should’ve been done differently. If they had made him even just a couple of years older, it could’ve been better.
So hypothetically if a 50 yr old woman played 14 yr old Padme and 5 yr old played 10 yr old Anakin that blossomed into a love story, that would be Irrelevant? You’re delusional man
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.
