[...]With that said most of the designs are simply not aging into classic designs for me like the OT did.
The stand-out designs for me would be the retro vibe on the Phase I clones, Jango (who is technically an OT design, but the finish is very much of the PT)...the battle droids, particularly the Super Battle Droids, which remind me of robot designs from the '50s and '60s -- and many of the spacecraft. In terms of design elements the fluid lines and sleek finishes on things like the Naboo craft look like they'll stand the test of time for me.
Maul is more problematic. While the kinetic energy of the character as seen on film, coupled with the menace and mystery he was able to convey, are praise-worthy, the tribal-style tatoos look very dated to me now and make me hear Limp Bizkit in my head.
