Much like Ridley Scott forgot what made Alien so brilliant (small cast so you cared about the characters, confined set), Lucas forgot what made the original trilogy so brilliant- THE characters. He let his obsession with technology and special effects write the scripts for the prequels. Phantom Menace rates as one of the worst films I have ever seen. Clones and Sith were better, but not a patch on these three :)

Take it easy Graeme, goodnight pal.

And quite right too!
The guys I worked with took the p!$$ something chronic. However it is now the stuff of legend ;-)
