But despite the hate that the prequels get, two of my favorite Star Wars moments happened because of the prequels:

1. Yoda vs. Dooku in Episode II
3. Palpatine shows his true face in Episode III

Even though the prequels got A LOT wrong, these two moments (at least for me) made up for it.

You liked the Dooku fight better than the Palpatine fight?

One of my favorite lines of the prequels was "If so powerful you are... Why leave?"

It did two things for me:

1. Properly showed just how pissed off Yoda can get
2. Palpatine was a girly-man

The Yoda/Palpatine fight was better, but some of the novelty had worn off (plus, they kept cutting away from it).  When Yoda faced Dooku, it was the first time I saw Yoda in action.  He was supposed to be this "great warrior" but before that scene, all he'd ever done was ride Luke Skywalker's back, hang out with the Ghost of Obi Wan, and die.  In Episode II, when Yoda came hobbling into the room (after Obi and Anakin had already had their asses handed to them), opened his robe, and broke out his itsy bitsy lightsaber, I almost stood up in the theater!  It was a magical moment.
