I think the most cringeworthy aspect of the entire PT was seeing Natalie Portman and Jake Lloyd together in Menace and realizing those two characters would get married eventually. It was just never believable that Padme was 10 yrs older in Clones than she was in Menace. Given that Portman was 16 in Menace and Lloyd was 8 or 9, that's just really weird seeing those two together in Menace. Eeeewww. I never understood why Lucas had the same actress play Padme in all 3 films, but had two different actors play Anakin in the PT. It would have been better if he had picked the same actor for all 3 films or if Padme had been played by a 9 or 10 yr old in Menace.
