I would add that, the character that stood out to me as the most interesting, even one could say best-acted, by FAR, was Wotto. Everyone else was either deathly bland and utterly forgettable (Qui-Gon, Padme), horribly acted (Anakin), or just wrong (e.g., creepy puppet yoda, Jar Jar).
I liked Wotto, though. Even got the impression he wouldn't be bad to work for. Which is why I thought how Anakin brushed him off in a later episode (was it 2 or 3?) was inappropriately rude.
