I think the lack of personality goes hand in hand with that decision. The craft that we fell in love with felt like they weren't from a 1950s "visions of a utopian future", they felt like they were functional and had a relationship with their owners. Particularly with the Millennium Falcon, which looked like Han Solo had added to it countless times, making it faster and tougher. The two of them had grown together.

Where do you get that from? Go back and look Attack of the Clones.... the clonetroopers and the vehicles are all dirty and worn.
