One of the things people find objectionable about the prequels is the lack of any central protagonist and its moral relativism.

Anakin is supposed to be the hero but he is not even remotely likable nor are the other cardboard cutout or cgi characters in those movies.


The fact that Anakin is a whiny, stupid twit =/= as movies having moral relativism. The PT are, in fact, not morally relativist at all - the morals are quite clear - the Dark side is still evil, the Light Side is still good. It just so happens that all characters are twits, idiots, and generally incompetent, and the storyline a complete mess, which makes things come across as more muddled than they actually are.
