I don't personally believe that the story, or the jedi code was the biggest problem with episode 1-3. For me the story and action scenes where good enough to warrant paying the ten to fifteen dollars for a movie ticket, what did it in for me was the bad acting. Don't get me wrong it was not all bad but the kid who played a young anakin was extremely flat. I hate to say anything bad about someone so young but there have been plenty of child actors with more emotion and better deliveries. With a title like star wars you would think it would have a budget that never ends, yet it seems like the casting could of been much better in some areas.
