How did the star wars prequels go so wrong? Does Lucas Realise it?

Just watched the red letter media videos and holy crap, I still called myself picky when it came to storylines and stuff. The prequels are pretty flawed haha. But I don't know, they are entertaining somehow to me, even with it's plotholes. The basic idea was good, even if most went wrong after that.
