Current mood:WTF??

Since today seems to be all about this kind of fail
Oh, no, Lucas and Spielberg and Kasdan, no!

Possibly triggering for molestation/victim blaming, definitely rage-inducing.

I always assumed it meant they'd had an affair when she was in her late teens. 17-19 or so. Young enough that she could still say she was a "child," but old enough to be involved.

I did too. Fifteen, maybe, at least. But now?

Yeah, if he was in his mid-twenties and all "Seventeen is legal in the country we're in now, so it's okay!", it'd still be wrong enough for her to justifiably be pissed off at him, but not nauseatingly creepy.

Or, as George Lucas calls it, "interesting".

Not to mention the time period. Even if she was 100% USA legal age, sex between unmarried people was a huge issue then. I always took it that she was a virgin and he had no desire to 'do the right thing' and marry her, since that would have been the expectation of the time.

Yeah, that was how I always read it - she was 16 at the youngest and a "child" in the sense of being young and naive, but not actually a child, and he was 23-25 and self-centered but not actually deliberately manipulative.
