Sadly, the prequels ruined this tradition by introuducing new ships and tech that were either totally fugly or derivative. Nowhere in the prequels is there anything as cool as the Tanative IV, the Death Star, the Millenium Falcon, the AT-ATs, the AT-STs, the speeder bikes, etc. The best we get are castrated yellow TIE Fighters.
