Someone asked my age. I think this will probably shock you, but I'm only 13.
Thing is, I've seen more movies than anyone I know, so I have a really good idea and appriciation of truly great films. For instance, I don't know a kid my age who likes the OT better than the prequels. I not only like the OT, I think the prequels are just plain bad.
The number one reason I appriciate older films and older special effects is that when I was 11, I got a home movie camera and have been making movies ever since. It allows me to do stop-motion animation, and with this, I see the stress older movie crews went through to get the movies done.
So yes, I'm very young, but I love the unaltered trilogy with a passion.
