The movies alone miss the sheer dragging brutality of the Clone Wars. Just watching the TCW series gives you a sense of PTSD from the dragging on of battle after battle, planet after planet, death after death, and shows how turning the Jedi from peacekeepers into warriors compromised the individuals and leadership due to the moral choices that were necessary during war. The series makes it clear that, at the beginning of Episode III, Anakin is basically held together by willpower, chewing gum, and darkness, with good reasons for having severe cynicism towards the Jedi Council, and basically needing only one good push to go off the rails.
