Yes, fans wanted to see the transition of Anakin to Vader and Sidious' play for galaxy-wide control from the Senate. The story, not the acting, was done very well.
The story of Ep1-3 in comparison to the very simple story of Ep4-6 is why the prequels are so loathed. Ep4-6: Rebels vs. Empire, father redeems himself and defeats the big bad thanks to the efforts of Luke. That's it. Very simple with characters that were easy enough to understand.
All the prequels did was jumble alot of the established lore, introduced us to characters that were neither memorable or well liked, throw in lots of political intrigue in a movie for kids(?), damage the character of Vader and make the Jedi look like a pack of buffoons who deserved to be cut down for the gross incompetence of their order.
Oh and the CGI was frankly obnoxious in its overuse. The acting was terrible and knowing Hayden Christensen is Vader causes me to lose sleep at night. On its face the story of Vader's rise sounds good but Ep1-3? What a trainwreck.
