Age Difference?

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2002)

A lot of creative writing here?it could only happen in outer space. How is it possible that Queen/Senator Padme Amidala, who was about eight (8) years older then Anakin Skywalker in Episode I all of the sudden be the same age in Episode II? Was she robbing the cradle or did Anakin age faster on another planet? And I am not aware of any 8-year old being in love with someone twice his age. She could do better?
