The general reason the twins were protrayed by older actors is due to the general inability of a public audience to understand their maturity. We as dune fans know that the twins were born aware with all the ancestrial memories of a Bene Gesserit Revrend Mother. You'd only really understand the deep meaning of that if you had actually read the novels. Sci-Fi had to write in older actors to allow ignorant viewers the means to suspend disbelief regarding the mature decisions of the characters.
I'm glad someone referenced the idiot costumes that the characters wore in the first Sci-Fi Dune film. Thank goodness they toned it down in the second.
Now if they'd only make God Emperor of Dune.
Do not fear me. Our's is a peaceful race and we must live in harmony.
