In the PT they got Anakin being arrogant right but they forgot that he needed to be a badass and likeable rogue to counteract this character trait so, we the audience would identify with him.

Instead Lucas made him annoying, ungrateful, hypocritical and whiny. The PT was supposed to be a story about good man turning bad. In reality the PT was a story of how a complete jerk (PT Anakin) turned into one of the most likeable and badass characters in film history (OT Vader).

The fall to the dark side wasn't a tragedy. It was a big change for the better.
