Personally, after much thought, I think it started to go wrong in the first film. I don't think Obi Wan Kenobi should have been killed by Darth Vader. Personally, I would have had Obi Wan injured so badly by Darth Vader that he could not fight any more, but was still able to coach Luke Skywalker in the following episodes. Then we wouldn't have needed that stupid, irritating, Yoda character.
I also prefer the original premise of the movie as outlined by Obi Wan Kenobi at the start of film IV, as it subsequently became known: Luke Skywalker's father was betrayed by a fellow student, Darth Vader. The ways things developed makes Obi Wan Kenobi a complete disembler. Not only was Luke Skywalker's father not betrayed by his friend, but I distinctly remember Obi Wan Kenobi saying that he'd never owned that R2D2 droid. Alright, he may never have owned it, but he must have remembered it, especially as it was accompanied by the very distinctive C3PO unit. Yet another anomaly, Luke was brought up by his aunt and uncle on Tatooine, but when Darth Vader arrived on the planet, did he recognise his cyblings or in-laws?
George Lucas borrowed from great sources in Star Wars: Dambusters, 633 Squadron and The Hidden Fortress for beginners, but the more it progressed, the worse the franchise became.
