And the " its a much more prosperous time" excuse is just lame. Our world has been in much more prosperous times but our technology is more advanced now than it ever was. cockpits, displays and even some ships will have a complete OT overhaul in the PT
I didn't see anything overly special about the holograms in the PT, they were all bluish and very similar to the ones in the OT, the only hologram to stand out in the entire saga is the Leia message because it is in color, all others are bluish, even in the PT. 100% agreed about the lame excuse that "it is a much more prosperous time" it just doesn't match, it can go 2 ways: overhaul the OT to match the PT *screens, holograms and Hi-tech (something you have said you won't do) OR downgrade the PT to match the OT (something I sense goes more to your liking) but as you say they can't stay like that.
Luke's hologram in ROTJ is in color as are the holochess game pieces in ANH and the attack plans on the Deathstar II. The general theme is that all communication holograms are in blue while prerecorded ones are in color. Which is why it has always annoyed me that the attack plans in TPM for the palace are all blue with a single red line.
