Yeah Padme is supposed to be 14. It's just so odd that a girl that young can lower her voice so much. I can probably accept that when she has the makeup on but not when she isn't trying to hide her identity.

Yeah, now that I think about it it seems even more strange since it isn't like that in episode 2 and 3. What were they even trying to do, editing her voice like that? Maybe they were trying to match up the voice of Padme with fake queen? I don't know.

Also, is it just me or age difference between Padme and Anakin is a bit creepy for some reason? I mean, since they are the parents of Luke and Leila, it is obvious they will fall in love eventually, right? Why would they pick an 8 year old Anakin and 14 year old Padme? How does that make sense? It seems like they made the movie for kids and kids alone.

I get the urge to merge Episode 1 and 2 into a single movie, cutting most of episode 1 but I wont do that. I must resist.
