And yes, the story was great, because anakin turning to the dark side is truly moving, and the way Palpatine manipulates anakin into doing so is so cool, especially in episode III when you're just watching and thinking, "no, don't turn to the dark side", but then he does and the effect, regardless of how obvious it is that it was going to happen, is amazing.

I can say with complete honesty, that I never thought or felt this.

The moment I saw what the film makers were doing with Anakin Skywalker, I wanted no more. I wanted them to hurry up and bring on Vader. There was nothing in Hayden Christensen's acting or characterization that compelled me to want to see more of him. To be fair, that may be more on the filmmakers than Christensen himself.
