I really hope that if we have to suffer the offspring of the big three, they at least cast them as early twenty somethings and not obnoxious teens

 I agree.  Everytime you cast a teenager in any movie, there is a risk that they won't be able to pull it off and it will be a turnoff to the audience.  I love T2, but can't stand Edward Furlong as a young John Connor.   I always thought if Lucas centered the PT around an early 30's Obiwan and a early-mid 20's Anakin for 3 movies, it would have worked better. 

I think they can go the route of early-mid 20's, and that way you can hire actors with alittle more experience and won't have to worry about them being whiny teenage brats.
