In my version of the Phantom Menace, Anakin is a teenager. It's not really so much as to spare us from Jake Lloyd's acting like literally every other Phantom Menace rewrite out there, but it would shorten the time of the Separatist Crisis in between Episodes I and II to a timespan that's more believable. He doesn't have as big a role in this as to help keep the focus on Obi-Wan and Qui Gon, but he's featured enough here so as his importance in the next two installments will be earned.
