Hi. Im new here.
If I could state my opinion, it would be that the prequels should have been made with the technology looking the same as it did in the originals.
The first time I saw The Phantom Menace was when it came out in theaters. Even though I was only ten, I could tell it sucked. I really wanted all the little computers and gadgets and gizmos to look "outdated." You know what I mean? In the original trilogy, the computers would have all the "old-fashioned" bells and whistles and big flashing lights. (True story: When I was seven or eight, my uncle, who was living in LA at the time, told me about how they were casting for Anakin Skywalker. He joked that I should try it, and even though I wanted to, but my mother wouldn't let me. When I actually saw the movie in theaters and saw how utterly bad of an actor the kid portraying Anakin was. . . well, it didn;t seem that the bar was set too high)
I really wish that they would have kept it looking that way for the prequels. That internal cosmetic consistency would have greatly improved the quality of the prequels, in my opinion. (Even if it had that late 70/early 80s outdated tech look.)
When Episode 3 came out, and they show the scene near the end with the newly suited Darth Vader walking down the length of the pathway to stand by the Emperor, the computers all had that old-fashioned look. I thought it was so cool.
It was neat to see that in a modern Star Wars movie!!
