      The whole general situation of making both characters absurdly young compared to what people had expected

      I think Lucas never really intended the age difference to be more than 3-4 years, but Portman acts so much more mature than Lloyd that the notion of these two ever hooking up at any age seems grossly inappropriate

      It's a five year gap, he's 9 and she's 14 Which is one of those things that becomes less and less of an issue as both parties age, but when they actually hook up at the age of 19 and 24 is still pretty iffy

      And yeah the age gap was bigger irl in TPM - Lloyd was actually 8 but Portman was 16 - which doesn't help As Lucas helpfully reminded us re: Marion, there's a pretty big difference between 14 and 16

      Portman was 18 in 1999, though I suppose she was younger during filming. And as has already been said, she played the role so much older. I spent most of the film being weirded out that these two people were eventually going to have sex.

      Most of the principal photography was two years before release with an unusually long post-production (which at the time was said to be because the FX were so state of the art and now seems more like damage control)

      And yeah I mean she has to play older because this 14-year-old is supposed to be the elected ruler of an entire planet The whole thing is nuts

      I mean, there's ways to tell a story about a child-monarch that serve both sides of that equation. But as with so much else about the prequels, the writing wasn't there.

      Right, but Lucas kept on saying it wasn't an inherited or ceremonial position, Naboo is a true democracy and she's actually the elected head of government Because she's just that gifted and charismatic

      I don't understand why they didn't make her like an early 20th century style constitutional monarch. Her dad died when she was young, she's more a symbol than a practical politician. She becomes like one of those exiled monarchs during World War II.

      I don't like the term "Mary Sue" in general but Padme very much has all the legitimately negative things people mean by that The worst such female characters are usually made up by dudes

          The thing where she has to be aggressively perfect about everything in ways that contradict each other and don't make sense Less a believable person than a mannequin on a pedestal

          If she's a spoiled figurehead at the start, then she can *grow* into being a stateswoman over the course of the trilogy. Like maybe they try to get her AND the PM (or Regent) out, but the PM is killed in the escape, so the responsibility falls on her.

          If you *also* made her and Annakin the same age, and make him already a Jedi apprentice to Obi-Wan (Qui Gon is such a useless character), you could have gotten interesting dynamics.

          I thought she was fairly decent as a character in TPM. The other two prequels, not so much.
