Episode I would have been a lot more plausible if Anakin Skywalker had been 12 or 14 years old insteads of 8, and for that matter, Queen Amidala had by 18 instead of 14, BUT were that the case they would have sold so many action figures to the younger kids.

Let's not kid ourselves: that was the calculation.
