I'm with Gil on the AT-ST - it's great for parts.
The two Life On Mars mechs (7313, 7314) have new colours, canopies, and
click-hinges (my favourite new part). The 7313 is currently half price at
Amazon:

The T-3 Trike (7312) is cool, with new wheels, hoses, and a bubble canopy.
The Jedi Starfighter (7143) is a nice set on it's own, with a decent mix of
parts including some new slopes. I can't speak for the rest of the EpII
sets, because I don't have them (yet).
Another great option for the newer parts is Bricklink.
The classic Star Wars fighters (X-wing, B-wing, A-wing, Snowspeeder) were
terrific, but I'm afraid you're out of luck - they're all out of production.
Maybe we could lobby for them to be the next Legend.
