One thing that you simply nailed (as well as many other people) was his lack of another writer, as well as following their suggestions. If only the other prequels could have been like Episode III - despite its own flaws.
Yeah, I don't particularly like that plan for the prequels, either. It almost seems like non-connected documentaries rather than a trilogy. At least the prequels as they are now tell some kind of story. But that layout seems more like:
"And now we see the Jedi in their natural habitat... let's watch!" Episode I
"You ever wondered where Obi-Wan Kenobis come from? Follow me!" Episode II
"And now... the scourge of all humanity! Darth Vader!" Episode III
Seems more like featurettes than movies.
