Yeah, that's the way I always speculated it was supposed to be, but alas, now it's stupid.

As for Leia being the youngest senator, is it possible that the PT ended up contradicting that? We know that Padme was 24 in AOTC, and that she was a senator. And her dialogue seems to indicate that she became a senator immediately after her term as queen ended. We know she was 14 as a queen. She couldn't have been too much older when her term expired, could she? But we also don't know when Leia first became a senator, do we? But it seems likely that they were roughly the same age. Any EU people out there care to help clarify? Shim, I'm looking in your direction!
