The explanation that I heard was that for all intensive purposes Anikan died when he was consumed by the Dark Side of the force when he became Vader.
Obi Wan lived his whole life on the light side of the force and carried on his older appearance when he went to the Force.
Personally I would have preferred that they kept AG image especially considering the actor that he was.
When they picked HC to be Skywalker the two reason's why they chose him were his physical stature, he's actually pretty imposing, and he had done some pretty strong acting roles in the past.
If I could change things
Phantom Menace, maybe make Skywalker a little older, which would mean that the actor that they did pick wouldn't have been there.
Less cartonny, even though Jar Jar Binks becomes the main reason for the rise of the Empire, he wasn't really a necessary character.
Attack of the Clones
The love story elements were necessary, we had to believe that Padme was the love of Skywalkers life. But Portman just couldn't deliver the lines, and HC was awkward in his role. I would have given Mace Windu more screen time as well.
Revenge of the Sith - some of the awkward lines would have been trimmed "Love has blinded you", reigned back the Vader Noooo moment. Maybe had a montage at the end of Vader killing a Jedi or two.
Now what I liked
Phantom Menace - the Maul, Obi-Wan Qui-gon fight was exceptional. Palpatine Sideous and the little grin when Padme announces that she's going home. The little details in the film, the invasion scene of Theed comes to mind.
Attack of the Clones - Again Palpatine and his manipulations, Binks brings down the Republic. The clone story line and the subversion of democracy. The last scene between Sideous and Dooku
Revenge of the Sith - The story of Darth Plageous the wise was mesmorizing. The march on the Jedi Temple, the opening battle scene took my breath away. The fight between Obi Wan and Vader was amazing, the fight between Yoda and Sideous. The smeakiness of Sideous during the seduction of Skywalker and the screw job on Windu.
The ending montage padme's funeral, the death star, Obi-wan handing the twins over to Owen and Beru.
I found that I could ignore the awkward cartoony stuff and focus on the fall of Anikan and the machinations of Palpatine, thats what made me enjoy it.
