Well I'm glad you got it working. Sorry about that.
He was easily what 8, 9? So Padme was 12-13, yet looked 18-19?
Ok, so how the f__k old were they in TPM?
Although I'm more bothered by how much Obi-Wan has to age from ROTS to ANH; Guinness looks way more than 20 years older than McGregor did in ROTS. Guess the desert must have been hard on his complexion and skin
Still doesn't quite work for me... but again kind of a minor issue to have. Probably more compounded again by different actors playing the same role.
Yes, but have you seen the same person who is 38; look 30 then 20 years look 70 when they are 57?
And really I'm just being argumentative at this point
A good point to be sure
I can believe the 20-24 difference in AOTC, but a 4 year age difference is a bit harder to accept for TPM.
Not to mention it being hard to imagine her being able to accept "clearly little kid" 9yr old Anakin as someone she would want to date 10 years later
"
Anyone seen Hershel Walker recently. He looks like he hasn't aged in 30 years.
I don't know about that. If the performances felt too unnatural, I don't think I could have much of an affinity for the OT, or for any movie for that matter where characters are supposed to behave as if they existed in a real world (exceptions for obviously stylized movies like Raising Arizona, Brazil, or Fear and Loathing), or unless a character is supposed to be a real eccentric type (like Stansfield in the Professional). You can encounter a goofy situation or deliver a goofy line naturally (like McGregor in the prequels) or awkwardly/stiffly (like Portman in the prequels). On the whole, the OT crew behaved more believably and thus made the dramatic component more compelling to me. The officers on the Death Star could've been German officers in a WWII period piece. Luke's uncle and aunt felt like they could've been having dinner on the Walton's. I didn't feel that way for much of the PT, and it goes beyond the fake environments and CG characters (though they no doubt contribute to it).
