If the universe was MORE technological in the past, if the Jedi were already clouded and weak, if technology were already overwhelming the galaxy, then what exactly was it the Empire had done? They sure didn't fill the galaxy with technological terror, since that was already prevalent!
Carrying this farther, if the Jedi religion was already some elitist crap that only a few people ina secret council held on to, if even the Sith were reduced to Vader (and later the Emperor), then what was it the Empire took away? What were common humans doing, wishing the Force on one another? Isn't that a bit stupid, seeing as they're not Jedi anyway?
Yeesh. These movies make no sense.

When you have to mass produce stuff.. because all the tie fighters and x-wings are being blown to bits.. you loose all the flashy stuff, and go for functional.
Sure they could have all had nice shiny chrome exteriors.. but that costs money. (Not to mention all the polishing that would have to happen.)
That is my take on it. Sure you have nice things before the war, but pretty soon you try to go for over powering in numbers.. plus replacements.. plus things like factories being destroyed.. makes it hard.

I asked myself that in 1999 with respects to the Naboo Starfighters being sleeker than the Rebel Alliances space armada.
But dont worry, I am sure it'll all be fixed in the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy: SPECIAL EDITION

You could say that. I'm not going to, specifically because the fighters in EP III are definitely more advanced than X-wings.

Hell, even the fighters that the troopers were using that were supposed to "evolve" into the future's X-Wings were more advanced.
Just like the new Jedi Starfighters later got a technology downgrade to become TIE Fighters.
Whatever though, I'll take my TIE Fighter anyday...that shrieking engine could strike fear into the heart of any space pilot.
