You certainly have a point about the displays, but instead of "upgrading" everything in the OT, would it not be preferable to "downgrade" the effects of the PT? Trooperman is doing this to the Slave 1 in "Shroud of the Dark Side" and I think it's an excellent idea that works on two levels: 1) Brings some technological continuity to the trilogies (as you pointed out, something that is currently lacking) and 2) As fan editors, it is much easier to simplify than to enhance. Any alteration of displays is difficult, but I'd imagine plugging in an Atari-looking display in the PT would be easier to do than working a sophisticated CGI schematic into the OT. (And in addition to all that I think we're all alot more comfortable changing things in the prequels then we are in the originals). Just something to think about.
