For me, the only thing the PT needed is for it's creator to actually care, and it's obvious he didn't. If it were me, my goal would be to make the best films possible. And that includes asking others for help and letting someone more talented than I make sure that they are done right. By George doing everything himself, it became clear that he didn't give a shit if they were good or not. And that's where the laundry list of problems arise. I have so many problems with the PT that's probably too long to list, but I'll do a few..

1) Obviously better writing, and directing. I would say acting, but the writing and directing (or lack there of) was so ridiculously terrible that I couldn't even begin to guage the acting.

2) Less CGI everything. Sets, characters, ships, ect. Episodes 2 & 3 looked like video games.

3) Episode 3 should have been Episode 2.

4) This is really one of my biggest complaints. Not enough humans. I'm not talking about too many CGI creatures, I'm saying to many creatures period. The OT had a more humanist feel to it, because we could relate to the people on the screen, whether it was an imperial officer reporting to Vader, and Hoth rebel getting mowed down by an AT-AT, or one of the heroes. It also gave charm to the scenes when there was an actual creature on screen. I'm for galactic diversity, but the PT was TOO diverse to the point that I couldn't relate to what was going on, much less that human actors can act better than cgi creatures. And let's forget about continuity, because it went out the window a long time ago.
