I like what Lucas is doing with it. Knowing that anikin ends up as vader adds an element of tragedy to Episode I which, I think, would otherwise have been missing. At the risk of over glorifying Lucas, the effect reminds me of Greek drama, where you (usualy) know the ending in advance and can admire the irony of how the characters play out their own doom.
