well yeah, i noticed that too. i personally would like to see a PT that has been retrofied to have the same feel as the OT. not saying the PT was bad, just not the PT i wanted.

 

Retrofied? No Coruscant? It would never had the exact feel unless it was made and first watched by us around the time we watched to originals the first time.

 

We had a Tantive IV, Lars Homestead, Star Destroyer bridge and other things that look just like the OT, seriously what did you want? The prequels were set on mostly heavily populated planets, the OT was set on mostly low populated planets. 10,000 SW fans want the movies 10,000 of different ways, a movie can't be made custom for all.

 

did my opinion upset you or something? i loved coruscant.

 

I think the point ben_danger was making is that the PT doesn't have the same visual feel as the OT.  Yes, part of that is due to having populated settings vs. unpopulated ones, but part of it too is that the PT seemed to be missing that used universe feel.  I know their exist popular explanations for this (it was before the Empire, Naboo was a rich, artisitic planet, etc.), but when it comes right down to it, a lot of the environments in the PT didn't feel lived in like they did in the OT.  I could believe Luke spent hours in his garage.  I could believe Han and Chewie clocked hours upon hours in the Falcon.  I could believe the rebel bases on Yavin and Hoth were working structures.  Naboo, Kamino, and many parts of Coruscant, however, look pristine and unused, and hence unrealistic.
