There could have been more depth with portraying Anakin as just a regular Force-sensitive student turned Jedi who goes down the dark path. I would have preferred that personally, as it could have expanded greatly on the "Dark side". The Dark Side is seductive because it's morally grey, just like real life.

episodes 1-3 deal with Anakin's fall; episodes 4-6, his redemption. in order for the "fall" to have maximum impact, it's necessary to show him at his most innocent.

I don't disagree with that. I would have preferred older than Jake Lloyd but younger than Luke in ANH. That would have absolutely fine. The younger he is the less believable it is that he got so heavily involved. Again, the midichlorians help explain this as it's the main reason Qui-Gon whisks him away... not that it was the best path for the story.
