Lucas seems to have lost himself in the EU, falling back on telling his audience a few superficial facts about a thousand different creations, rather than showing archetypal stories of a few individuals via dramatic conflict.

Dramatic conflicts? Then you should love PT. Dramatic conflicts are not inherently good. PT is full of dramatic conflicts, annoying ones nonetheless, that characterises PT Anakin into an extremely unlikeable annoying repulsive jerk. I would rather see a good-person Anakin with focus on adventure rather than on annoying dramatic conflicts.

The sole reason why I (and probably many others) find TPM the most enjoyable of the PT is because it is still primarily an adventure (poorly executed one but still). In contrast, ATOC and ROTS are primarily focused on annoying personal conflicts of Anakin.
