I'll make a guess that episode 2 (maybe even 1) will feature Anakin as the good guy
hero; for episode 3, I see the birth of Vader (and the literal birth of Luke
and Leia), and the beginnings of the rebellion.  

Well, making this up as I go along, this is the way I see things laid out for
the first trilogy (but remember-- hard to see is the future!):

Episode I:  The Jedi Knights are commonplace throughout the galaxy.  A young lad
  named Anakin Skywalker himself living a humdrum life as a spice frigate pilot.
  He runs into some space pirates, defeating them with the assistance of another
  rogue pilot (Han Solo type) and his clan of droid smugglers (guess which two
  particular droids show up here!).  Skywalker eventually encounters several
  Jedi battling members of a militant political group (future Imperials), and
  helps the Jedi, somewhat unwittingly.  The Jedi are impressed with Anakin's
  abilities and apparent strength with this Force, and recruit him to train
  as a fellow Jedi.  

Episode II:  Anakin is becoming stronger in the Force.  However, we see subtle
  signs that the Dark Side of starting to overtake him.  (He is, nevertheless,
  the hero in this movie.)  Anakin meets Luke's mom when she needs to be rescued
  from a squad of neo-imerial kidnappers.  It turns out she is royalty, but falls
  in love with this wild child (who will become Vader - bummer!).  The Empire
  is becoming much stronger and Anakin is drawn more deeply into the Dark Side
  when many of his friends and fellow Jedi-buddies are visciously murdered by
  Imperial troops (this is one battle of many from the clone wars; the mood of
  the galaxy is very dreary, reminiscent of, say, Europe under WWII fighting).
  This fills Anakin with much hate, which Palpatine will soon see as a way of
  swaying this young Jedi to the dark side.  As Anakin becomes more evil, he
  is withdrawn from his wife, who is secretly pregnant, and quite aware that
  her husband is changing.

     [The hotly-contested method of Anakin/Vader's disfigurement are left
      for further thought and discussion!  It should probably occur at the
      end of Episode II, the final scene of the movie being the introduction
      of Vader as we know him.]

Episode III:  The Jedi are on their last leg, but a rag-tag group of "rebels" bands
  together, vowing to fight this new Empire that has risen to power.  This movie
  could feature adventures of early rebels and their struggles to infiltrate
  and subvert Imperial actions.  The last few _active_ Jedi Knights are wiped
  out; Luke/Leia's mom is killed, but the babies are hidden (one to Tatooine,
  one to somebody else in the Alderann royal house).  [Insert some good
  plot synopsis here, cause I can't hink of anything else right now!]


My opinions, based on brain rot and boredom.  Comments, flames...?
