Contrast and Compare:

Empty (mostly uncolonized) Planets and Used Tech

~VS~

Full Planets (mostly colonized) and New Tech

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!

I think it makes since.

Star Wars takes place in the boonies of the galaxy, followed by a trip to the rebel's hidden base.

Phantom Menace takes place in a lush and wealthy planet, followed by a trip to the CAPITOL OF THE UNIVERSE.

Most of the planets we see in the OT are either on the fringes of the galaxy or have been picked by their current occupants because they are out of the way.

The planets we see in the PT are mostly a part of the Republic, which is still booming at this point, so I can see why they were already chock-full of people. I always thought the tech issue was that, when martial law is imposed, the money just went into the war effort, hence the impoverished look of the galaxy - apart from Cloud City, which is a pimp's paradise.

That's some bad hat, Harry
