Introducing a young adult Anakin in Episode I and giving him flashbacks to his youth probably would have gotten the point across just fine that, yes Darth Vader was once a kid - just as Hitler and all other tyrants were once little kids - but George Lucas can't seem to think outside the box of his usual technique, following all too rigidly a certain storytelling structure that would work fine if the prequels were actually good, which they are not.
