Sorry, that's just not true. You don't become an adult when you turn 13...unless you're jewish, but that's just a religious/ceremonial thing.
Its actually an historic thing as well. Age of consent in the West was very very young just a couple of hundred years ago.
Not that that has any bearing on what Lucas meant by a film franchise bring for 12 year olds from 1979 - 2005.

They should Kill Finn and Rose first IMO.
Sad thing is I actually really liked Finn in TFA. As he was the one fresh of breath air which wasn't taken right out of the OT.
Finn and Han Solo were the only TFA highlights for me. They didnt shit on Han Solo the way they did on Luke in TLJ.
Dude's a textbook example of being internally inconsistent. Finn has an aversion to death and then goes and kills all his stormtrooper friends. Finn loses his first real friend only for that friend to magically come back to life.

Only if both people are mutually pussies.

More like: if you're arguing with someone you are obviously in disagreement and you both know it, so why would you need agreement on that point.
It's an expression - it just means the only thing those two people would ever be able to agree on, is that they disagree.
So they would have to acknowledge commonality on that point and move on.

And in which one of these ways does it not completely trivalize Vader fufilling the prophecy?
The chosen one idea was a shit idea to begin with. Nothing about Vader in the OT suggests he was supposed to be the sci fi equivalent of Jesus Christ. He was just a guy in a suit who was pretty powerful but was pushed around by admirals, and was ultimately the Emperor's *****. Does that sound like "the chosen one" to you?
Lucas only made Anakin this important character because of Vader's importance and popularity in the Star Wars fandom. Vader was originally supposed to be a great Jedi who had a wife and a family who tragically turned to the darkside. Nothing more, nothing less.
To paraphrase RLM: He's some *sshole in a robot suit who does the dirty business of the Empire, and is only important because he matters to we the audience. He is not Space Jesus.
Goddamn those movie's aren't just bad, they're really f*cking dumb. Give me the flaws of the Sequel Trilogy any day over absolute and complete retardation of the PT's script and story.
