My wife thinks I'm going through a midlife crisis because i'm buying original star wars ships of e-bay. My love of Star Wars had to be subdued for a long while because i'd become to old for "that sort of thing". That was until the Lucas announced the Special Editions - thats when i let it all out and fell love Star Wars again.
I convinced myself the SE's were great, and each of the prequels were fantastic when i watched them on the big screen, just because they were Star Wars (even though deep down i knew they were really sh*te).
Even though, given time, and coming from down from that high, i still apreciate in order of the movies:

-The Pod Race (sorry - but i think its visually impressive, and for the audio - damn!).
-Darth Maul (initially i thought he was lame for a Star Wars bad guy, now i know he's the best on offer).
-Seeing how cool Slave 1 really is in action.
-The Death Star concept.
-The prototype 'Stormtroopers' (although the clone aspect is lame).
-The Clone vs. Robot battle was alright (better than droid vs. gungan anyhow).
-Prototype Star Destroyers in action.
-And my absolute love from ROTS the variation of clone commanders/troopers.

Anyhow I'm 31 and given the test of time everything now sucks ass!
