    The whole Anakin-Padme romance was just awful. Weird Al’s line in The Saga Begins:

    Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen Though he’s just nine and she’s fourteen? Yeah, he’s probably gonna marry her someday

    sums up the absurdity quite well.

      Its a five year gap. When their young, its no good. But once they’re both in their 20s, who cares?

      It is weird/creepy that they included it so blatently in the first movie with the kids. A real 9 year old would have showed her his toy dino collection and a real teenager would have to play along while despretly looking for an escape route.

      I think about this line more frequently than I would expect. Weird Al is a master of parody.
