I don’t understand why everyone says the age difference between Anakin and Padmé is weird. I mean, when they met in The Phantom Menace they were both minors, and when they met again in Attack of the Clones they were both adults, so I don’t understand what the problem is. Anakin and Padmé have an age difference of 5 years, while the age difference between Han and Leia is 10 years, yet I have never heard anyone complain about the age difference between Han and Leia. Not to mention that in The Phantom Menace Padmé wasn’t in love with Anakin, she only fell in love with him in Attack of the Clones, when they were both adults (Anakin was 20 years old). It was Anakin who was in love with Padmé since The Phantom Menace, not vice versa. So I really don’t understand what the problem is and why people complain.
The age difference is made creepier by the fact that Padme’s relationship with Anakin in TPM seems almost maternal. And Padme largely acts like an adult in that movie, and interacts with the plot and the other characters in ways that an adult would, while Anakin is still very much presented as a child. Even Marcia Lucas thought it was weird when she watched it.
