As far as the readouts go, I do admit the first time I saw them they did feel a bit too "perfect." Even today, despite them being far more advanced, movies still often tend to make computer readouts look "computery" because that's what people excpect and, frankly, I think it looks cooler - especially on the Falcon, where Han has put his money into making the ship fast - I'd bet a fancy targeting readout is the last thing he would spend money on.
Changing the TIEs to simple markers is a good idea, and I would personally alter the frame rate on the displays to twos (i.e. 12 FPS) so they look a little choppier and low-tech. Just dropping the frame rate and ditching any motion blur (if you're using it) would make the displays look a lot less "perfect."
Remember, Lucas made a conscious effort to have the Empire's gear new and high tech, while the rebels and much of the rest of the Star Wars universe was very "used" and beat up.
Anyway, great work and I can't wait to see it finished.

I agree with this post a lot.... also some fake CRT scanlines might help to lower the tech level as well.
