It will definutly be much darker then Empire. First of all Attack of the Clones is probably the second darkest of the Star Wars movies. Return of the Jedi has the empire getting defeated by teddy bears but you can call Attack of the Clones childish. Statments like that make no sense. Attack of the Clones was far far better then The Phantom Menace. This is not Lucas learning from mistakes. What it is was always the plan. Episode 1 was always going to be as much of a kids movies as possible. He did it this way because he knew Episode 2 would be much much darker and Episode 3 would not be happy by any stretch of the imagination. Considering how many characters are going to die and how the galaxy is going to be plunged into darkness Revenge of the Sith might be one of the most depressing movies in a while.

If you "love" star wars so much, you should know that the Ewoks are much more than "teddy bears". Also, Attack of the clones was not a dark movie at all... It might of had a few scenes which were suppose to be "dark", but because of the bad acting, they were mostly just funny. I laugh everytime I hear Anakin say "I KILLED THEM! I KILLED ALL OF THEM!". It's corny and very poor acting. And then there is the whole Yoda duel. That was just as childish as having little "teddy bears" throw rocks at the storm troopers... I mean, it's an old small frog-looking guy who is bouncing off the walls like he had to much caffine.
Another thing that made AOTC very un-dark, was the fact that it has had the biggest romance story in any of the movies so far... There were countless scenes of Anakin and Padme just talking and laughing and flirting when they were on Naboo... the first half of the movie was basically a chick flick.
I am not expecting anything good to come out of episode three because nothing good came out of the other prequels. I love Star Wars, but Episode 1, 2 and probably 3 are not what I would consider star wars. The acting is no where near as good as the originals, the characters are not as interesting, the storyline is completly predicteble (I mean, we all know already that Anakin is going to become Darth Vader... But when Star Wars first came out, did any of us know that Darth Vader was Luke's father?) and the worst part is, instead of "making the star wars universe better", they have merely made it worse. Changing people's entire background stories just to make more money (Boba Fett...
). Not a single good thing has come out of the prequels in my opinion, and I just wish he had never made them... And if he HAD to make them, he should of at least made them better. He should be making the prequels tie in with the original trilogy, he shouldn't edit and change the original trilogy to make it tie in with the prequels.All in all, I guess the prequels are okay movies... But they're very, VERY poor STAR WARS movies.
