I feel like the Pevensies are constantly getting in between Caspian and Lilliandil. :|

I hope this kind of corny humor is limited in the film.

Edmund is still a school boy, he may look 17 and the actor might have been that age while filming. 13 is his approximate age for the film.

Nope, Edmund was played as 12 in LWW. He was then played as 13/14 in PC (just over one year later). This film is set at least another year on - the Timeline has it one year after PC, but it seems the script has Ed and Lucy staying for over six months with the Scrubbs, so he can be 15/16. Movie Lucy, by this reckoning is about 11/12.

There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

I'm constantly getting the ages of the actors and the ages of the characters mixed up.

"Are you sure you're eighteen?"
"Why? Do I look older?"

Everyone should know that Susan was 13 in LWW because Anna and Andrew Adamson said so. Susan and Edmund are two years apart so that would have made Edmund 11 in LWW so 13 would be Edmund's right age in VDT because two years have now passed by.

They are not going by the book timelines since the movies take too long to make for that.
So I think he is supposed to be as old as he looks.
it is very obvious he isn't 13 :)

Honestly im kind of scared, with this whole thing with the little girl named Gail and now a Caspien/Edmund/lillandil love triangle? Is it going to be in every movie the the moviemakers go for a romance that isnt in the books? Im really, really hoping that moviemakers dont mess this up.

aragon2 that really is a silly excuse and you're wrong on that as well. Just because someone looks a certain age doesn't mean that that is their age. I recently worked on a movie set and this actor in his 20's started flirting with this girl who was an extra that I thought was 19 because she was like 5'11" feet tall and physically looked older, truthfully she was 13 and the actor was very embarrassed and was happy he didn't go too far. Looks Are Deceiving

Edmund is 13. I'm very well aware that the actor isn't but his character Edmund is thirteen, that's what acting is.

I know what age he is supposed to be in the book, but then there wasn't a soul-eating-green-mist in the book either. I don't think the directors could care less what age he is in the book, he is just going to have to be around how old the actor is.

Whatever the "official ages" are, the directors arent paying attention to them. Nowhere in the movies are the ages of the kids mentioned. Anyone who looked at Edmund would assume he's an older teenager.

No matter what age Edmund is, it might not make any difference when it comes to there being a Caspian/Lilliandil/Edmund problem. Because, even though Lilliandil wouldn't be interested in Edmund (she wouldn't be anyway, even if he was older. She loves Caspian), it doesn't mean that Edmund can't get a crush on her. And it wouldn't stop Edmund from starting fights with Caspian out of jealousy...

I don't think age has anything to do with it. A 13 year old boy is capable of getting a crush just like a 17 year old boy is. And neither of those ages are good enough for Edmund to create serious competition for Caspian.
And neither of those ages is a justification for Edmund having a crush, (or at least expressing it in that way) anyways. ;)

Saying no to a beautiful girl you met 30 seconds before when she offers to change forms doesn't mean you have a crush on her

That's true, but I believe it does in this particular case. It's what the filmmakers are trying to portray.
Look at Edmund's expression. He clearly likes her. His eyes have that certain sparkle that actors purposely use to portray "love" or a crush. And why else would Lucy roll her eyes at her brother for saying "no", unless it was because she knew he was developing a crush on Lilliandil and acting girl-crazy?

Here`s my take. Given simple acknowledgment to the fact that you find a girl attractive doesn`t make you girl crazy. Lucy may just be annoyed by being overlooked. Beauty is an issue for her. She is being overshadowed by another beautiful female. I don`t know why everyone thinks Edmund and Caspian are girl crazy just because they react similarly to a lovely girl. In PC the glances Caspian gives Susan are hilarious. Those smoldering side long glances crack me up. A simple "No" is small in comparison. I hope Caspian doesn`t give Lilliandil those kind of looks. He is older and more mature now. It just wouldn`t be fitting for a king.

I'm not saying they are girl-crazy, but Lucy (being Edmund's sister and all) might think he is. All the siblings I've ever known in real life have always loved to tease eachother about being girl-crazy or boy-crazy whenever one of them liked someone.

You may be right about her being upset about being overlooked. However, judging from her expression, I think it's more of a "*sigh* boys!" type look. Which is actually in her character to think. Look at the part in the VDT book when she says, "That's the trouble of doing anything with boys. You're all such bullying, swaggering idiots." I wonder if that statement of hers is what inspired the director to have Lucy roll her eyes at things Caspian and Edmund do? :-
