Outside of aspects of the Phantom menace I found the whole 6 story arch to be a very cool story, and as much as people look at it as the story of the Skywalker clan, I would argue that the key characters are really the droids and the rise and fall of the Emperor.

I think Lucas is brilliant with "big picture" ideas and concepts but horrible with details like writing and directing. I don't think it's a coincidence that the two best films on his resume (The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark) are the ones where he came up with the basic outline for the story but then turned over the tasks of writing and directing to others.
