I think one of the reasons the OT looks dated now is what precisely corellian77 pointed out: most of the OT ships have their cockpit full of knobs, switches and buttons, while most of the PT ships boast touchscreens, a middle ground must be found otherwise it makes the OT seem dated, not just by PT standards, but by any movie nowadays......nothing wrong with pop-up holos or nice screens, as long as they don't become too obvious, it would enhance the experience (ANH:R rebel war room anyone?) Let's take into consider how much an X-wing with screen similar to the Jedi-Fighter would gain in terms of giving a perspective of what the pilot saw. same with MF, furthermore with MF since that ships HAS been around since the time of the PT (EP 3 shows it) so it's only natural that MF would have touchscreens and all.....
