Beyond Lucas horrible scripts and directing, David Tatterstall's boring ho hum cinematography, i think the absolute worst actually is Ben Burtt editing and too much sound effects and not enough John Williams.

Burtt instead of being a collaborator as in the original trilogy is largely solely responsible for the final mixes.

I actually enjoyed the penetrant soundwork everywhere except maybe the arena scene.

Those "sound-only" sequences were probably among the most enjoyable aspects of the prequels.
