This is supposedly what George Lucas has to say in the featurette on Episode II that's found on the re-re-release of The original Star Wars Trilogy..

"Now, as for Lucas' quotes, here they are in their entirety (well, the interesting stuff):
"The first film [EPISODE 1] starts with the last age of the Republic," Lucas says to open the docu. "...Which it's getting tired. It's getting old. It's getting corrupt. There's the rise of the Sith who are now becoming a force. And in the backdrop of this you have Anakin Skywalker, a young boy destined to be very significant in bringing balance back to the force and the Republic. In the second film [EPISODE 2] we get into more of that turmoil. We get into the clone wars. It's the beginning of the end of democracy in the Republic. It's sort of the beginning of the end of the Republic. It's Anakin Skywalker beginning to deal with some of his more intense emotions, of anger, hatred, sense of loss, possessiveness, jealousy, and the other things he's coping with. When we will get into the third film [EPISODE 3] where he's seduced to the dark side. Which brings us to films [EPISODES] 4, 5 and 6, where Anakin's offspring redeem him and allow him to fulfill the prophecy where he brings balance to the force by doing away with the Sith and getting rid of evil in the universe. In EPISODE 2 we get to go back to the homestead and we get to see Owen Lars and Aunt Beru 25 years earlier. We get to see who these people were before they existed in EPISODES 4, 5, and 6.""
