What did Ep. 1 acomplish?
1. Introduce Anakin as a good natured kid. No hint of evil at all.
2. Introduce a young Obi Wan as an adventurous, forward looking Jedi with a "rebel" for a teacher.
3. Introduce the Jedi Council and how the Jedi Order works.
4. Introduce Senetor Palpatine and the begining of his rise to power. Also shows the political termoil the Republic is in.
5. Introduce Anakin's mother and love interests. Both, I think, will be used as pawns to turn him to the dark side. The whole "love story" teaser really has more purpose than to get the 14y.o. girls in the theater, at lest I hope so.
I think these were Lucas's main goals and he accomplished them. Could the story have been better? hell YES!!!
Ep 1. was a prologue, not a full story of a trilogy. It was the intro before the real story starts.
I haven't seen the trailer and I haven't read the articles about the footage that was screened and reviewed on AICN, but it's beginning to sound like Lucas has stepped up and given the story people want.
