I admit that I have a bit of envy for you and everyone old enough to have seen them all in the theatre. :) And, oh, I imagine it didn't take long at all for you to realize that you had walked into something magical.
For me, the sublime happiness you get from only the first one extends to all of the original trilogy. One of my earliest memories of television was getting to see The Empire Strikes Back and Fraggle Rock on HBO when I was three years old, and I guess Mom deemed me too young to be taken to the theatre to see Return of the Jedi. XD In the years before the trilogy came out on home video, any time it came on TV, my family made a huge event out of it; ordered pizza, pulled out the TV trays...
I enjoyed the prequel trilogy well enough, but the original three are perfection to me. It just doesn't feel the same.
