Prehistoric Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Okey so, in the movie Phantom Menace Anakin seems like a 11-12 years old whereas Padme is obviously somewhere around 20.Then in Clone Wars they both look around 20s where Anakin is about 10 years older and Padme is the same.According to wookiepedia Anakin is like 5 years older than Padme.Is it that Anakin really younger in Phantom Menace or Padme seems older.Someone can explain me why Anakin seems so young despite being older than Padme ?

Wolfninjajedi Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 They are not that far apart in age, and Padme in TPM was 14 I believe and Anakin was..either 9 or 10. I don't really see a big deal with this at all, people can fall in love at different age ranges why does everyone think its impossible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliapis Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Assumingly in the late story, Luke was in his 20s and Padme at 25. She wouldnt of change much. In reallity, ppl dont change much from 20-30. But they do from puberty to full masculinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsukae Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The people of Naboo are weird choosing a 14 year old to rule them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daederik Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The people of Naboo are weird choosing a 14 year old to rule them. She was a Queen no? (in favour of...democracy) I don't know if Naboo had much of a choice in the matter. Then again the Star Wars universe is a weird place. Could have been worse, she could have been a slug ruling them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, apparently the title Queen is for their elected ruler, which is always female and between 14-19 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQordisz Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Yea she got elected young so she was probably no older than 5 years than Anakin. I do not even think she was the youngest to ever be elected to her office. Edited January 26, 2012 by LordQordisz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeratho Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The people of Naboo are weird choosing a 14 year old to rule them. People in real life in history have also chosen young kids as kings/leaders so I don't see what's the big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerDavid Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 She was a Queen. But, apparently the title Queen is for their elected ruler, which is always female and between 14-19 years old. I heard that before too, but in the novel Plageuis they talk about the kings before her, all male and adult. She was chosen because the people wanted to have an innocent Queen, the King she defeated in election was corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
