shouldn't the prequels be much darker in tone then episodes IV, V, and VI? i mean, their about the origin and creation of darth vader! the baddest mofo in all of the galaxies! episode II should have left much more of an overwhelming sense of "it's about to hit the fan" when it ended.
i'm not one to bitch and moan about the prequels (although episode I did suck, but i found episode II enjoyable in a "popcorn flick" kind of way), but they could of handled anakins development and path down the darkside much better. go more in detail and spread it out over the three movies... instead we go from him being a happy child to a whiny adolscent. the sad thing is, the material was there for some really good character development and storytelling.
