Actually I seem to remember hearing (I think a quote, or a TV interview with Lucas himself somewhere, sometime ago) that the new movies sort of take place in a renaissance period...

Whereas in the older movies, set during a time where a war has already been going on for quite awhile now, it's more industrial "get them damn fighters ready to fly NOW" kinda thing... They didn't fret too much on making sure they were easy on the eyes...

The only obvious less-advanced thing would be the death star plans and other various computer models they used... Which were basically made with early vector graphics...
