Daniel Drezner is SithBlogging as well, wherein he notes an EW story in which Lucas admits the following:
By Lucas’ own calculation, 60 percent of the prequel plot he dreamed up decades earlier takes place in Sith. The remaining 40 percent he split evenly between Menace and Clones, meaning each film contained a lot of…filler. Or, in Lucas parlance, “jazz riffs… things that I enjoy… just doodle around a lot.”
More like a kid banging on a toy xylophone…
But again, this gets to the heart of my incredulity regarding Lucas: the collapse of the Jedi order, a galactic civil war, and the transmogrification of a democratic Republic into an evil Empire wasn’t enough material to work with?!?! Yeesh.
