Honestly, they didn't emphasize this enough. He just sat around acting wise the whole time (and failing) and didn't really do crap until he faced off with Palpatine. It's clear from Episode I that he was the McGuffin for Anakin's point of no return and that he'd be responsible for Mace's death. How awesome would it have been to have Mace have Anakin kicked out of the Jedi Order, then in Episode III Anakin meets up with Maul and Mace fighting to the death, and Anakin decides to kill them both and blame Mace's death on Maul? Of course he's caught in the act of killing Mace, and he goes into a Jedi hunt to save his own arse. Really Anakin becomes Vader without even realizing it, while he was tricked in the name of love in the prequels. This three way duel was definitely one of the biggest missed opportunities in the prequels.
