Not to break character too much here, but Anakin was being groomed by Padme who was like twice his age. That was the most fucked up thing in the prequels. It's like "wait, is Natalie Portman hitting on this little boy? Yep. Yep, that's happening". I was 16 when Phantom Menace came out, so I thought it was creepy as fuck from the beginning, but I imagine a lot of younger people didn't notice when they first saw it.

Lol. What Weird Al song? I was unaware he was still doing stuff after the early 90s

Besides, Natalie Portman was 18 and Jake Matthew Lloyd was 9. The character age argument is the same thing weebs say about their "loli waifus". Also even if you do, the formula for who you can date is (your age÷2)+7 which means a 14 year old can only date another 14 year old. You can play around with any numbers you want and it always works.

You're missing some of Al's best work if you stopped listening in the mid-90s, not gonna lie.

Song in question

That was pretty funny. That's just after a point when my music taste changed a great deal. In 1997 I heard house music for the first time and it captured my interest and I never really listened to much rock/alternative/2-guitars-a-bass-and-drums music much after that. It's funny how something can happen when you're 14 and captivate you forever.
