do you see, this junkard slave
isn't even old enough to shave,
but he can use the force, they say
ahhh do you see him, hitting on the queen,
though, he's just nine, and, she's fourteen,
yea he's probably gonna marry her, sooomedaaayyyy~
too many yes men from the studio forcing every little thing lucas thought up into reality. there should have been somebody to balk the first time he said "what about a child queen dynastic political intrigue plot in our pg space action movie series marketed for kids"
Aging up Anakin to 13 or 14 would have improved the movie immensely, like there's no reason for him to be that young in the story. But that's just scratching the surface of the bad choices made in that movie.
That was probably the justification but it's an incredibly silly one, kids don't care if the main character is the same age as them. Luke Skywalker was 20-something and plenty of 9 year-old boys were able to identify with him. And as long you put lots of cool spaceships and droids and shit then kids will buy the toys lol.
