Lucas just had so much potential in ep 1-3 that he totally wasted and screwed up.
It could have been grand, with real camraderie between Obi-wan and Anakin, genuine goodness you see from him that makes his fall even more tragic. The clone wars could have been really amazing but we basically lose the entire thing to the between movie gulf and it's relegated to some cartoon series.
But the whole thing plays out flat, with plotlines that are so political and offer so many factions, most people would get totally confused and think they are watching C-Span...the relationships and acting are flat too - and that's a byproduct of doing EVERYTHING on green screen. It's just hard to act when you have to imagine everything happening around you and act accordingly.
