They paced the films completely wrongly I think. Spreading the story of the rise of the Empire and Anakin turning in to Darth Vader simultaneoulsy over three films, which resulted in both major storylines being dragged out. If they'd concentrated on the Empire storyline in the first film and a half and then had the Anakin appearance mid way through second half after the Clone Wars started then they could have paced it all better. Not every film needs a huge battle scene unless they want to sell toys, which I'm pretty sure is why they came out like they did.
