Yeah, it wasn’t well thought out. He should have written it all as one story all at once and then divided it up for movie purposes instead of doing it one movie at a time. Having new badguys every movie and stuff just wastes time b/c you have to introduce them and then of course he had to do double the work with Anakin b/c the first movie was set with him at 10 then you jump 10 yrs until he is 20.
I also would have liked to see Anakin joining Obi-Wan on some idealistic foolish crusade that didn’t meet with Owens ideals. Instead we get Anakin leaving at the age of 10 and Owen isn’t even involved, and then 10 yrs later he’s already a Jedi and meets Owen and there is no connection to what Obi-Wan told Luke in Ep 4.
The Clone Wars was handled poorly too. That should have started in Ep 1 and Anakin should have joined up with Obi-Wan to fight. I think you could set it with Anakin at 16 yrs old (played by a slightly older actor for the sequels, so you could have one actor doing all 3 movies) but obviously extremely gifted with the force and as a pilot. Yoda thinks it is a bad idea to train him (too old) and tells Obi-Wan not to, but he ignores the advice still trains the young Anakin and they go off to fight in the war. End movie 1. The War is Movie 2. Movie 3 sees the end of the War and Anakins final decline.
The whole story is there in the first part of Ep 4 and the Yoda scenes from Ep5 and 6, but for some reason it was ignored. :|
